Question

How to convert a Standard Equation to Slope Interecpt Form?

Someone help please!?

Answer 1

Ax +By = C
Divide both sides by B
A/Bx +y = C/B
Now put eq in y = mx+b form
y = -A/B x +C/B

Answer 2

Hmm

Answer 3

4x + y = 8

Answer 4

How would I do this one, since Y is on it's own?

Answer 5

solve for y and get the equation into y = mx+b form


4x + y = 8

4x + y-4x = 8-4x ... Subtract 4x from both sides.

y = -4x + 8

Answer 6

so 4x + y = 8 is equivalent to y = -4x+8

y = -4x+8 matches up with y = mx+b where

m = -4 (slope)
b = 8 (y-intercept)
