Get them into slope-intercept form first

Okay, one second......

sighn0more · Answer

4y-x=-8 in slope-intercept form is y=x/4-2. I'm almost done with the second one.....

anonymous · Answer

it would actually be y=1/4x-2 because you have to pick up the value of x which is one

The problem ask you to draw them first, now do it
Can you?

loser66 · Answer

Don't for get!! GRAPH the equations to SOLVE them.  Not solve in algebraic way.

loser66 · Answer

Let me know if you want to know how to "GRAPH to SOLVE"

I think that I get it now! :) I converted the second equation to slope-intercept form and I found that both of the equations were the same. So I think that this line has infinitely many solutions.
