WILL FAN AND MEDEAL PLZ HELP!

What is the slope of a line whose equation is -48 = 2x - 8y?

Answer 1

Subtract 2x from both sides first

Answer 2

ok

Answer 3

Now what do you have?

Answer 4

-2x - 48 = 8y

Answer 5

Its supposed to be a -8, but good. Now divide both sides by 8.

Answer 6

oh do u mean divide each side by -8?

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

u get -2x + 6 = y

Answer 10

You need to divide the -2 by -8 also.
so you should have:
\[y=-\frac{ -2x-48 }{ -8 }\]
Now 8 cannot go into the 2, so it becomes a fraction and you reduce it. Resulting in your answer being:
\[y=\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x+6\]

Answer 11

And 1/4 is your answer

Answer 12

I don't understand but thanks
