Question

what is the graph of -3x-8y=24?

Answer 1

Put it into slope-intercept form

Answer 2

I honestly have no idea how to do that.... My teacher doesn't help me...

Answer 3

That means put it into y = mx + b form

Answer 4

The "m" would be the slope, b would be y intercept (where it crosses the y axis)

Answer 5

So, isolate the y.

Answer 6

-3x-8y=24
-8y = 3x + 24
y = -3/8x - 8

Answer 7

so, the graph should have a y int of -8. It has a negative slope of -3/8

Answer 8

Ohhhh... Ok I get it now. Thank you so much :D

Answer 9

No problem, but I mae a mistake, it should be y = -3/8x - 3

Answer 10

So the y int is -3 :)

Answer 11

Ah ok, thank you Cx
