Question

What is the slope of the equation 4x + 8y = 24
a 1/3
b -1/3
c 1/2
d -1/2

Answer 1

you have to subtract 4x from both sides first

Answer 2

8y = 20?

Answer 3

8y= -4x +24 , you can't subtract a number with a variable from a regular number. Then you have to divide each number by 8.. See what you come up with

Answer 4

y = -1/2x + 3???????

Answer 5

then do you subtract 3?

Answer 6

You leave the 3, that's the y-intercept. Slope form is y=Mx+B. M= slope B= y-int. SO, your slope is -1/2

Answer 7

ok thank you!!

Answer 8

Your welcome! (:
