So the question wants me to find out the slope of the line in simplest from for
4x – 8y – 16 = 0
So im GUESSING that two points on the graph would be (4,0) and (0,-12) ?

form"

anonymous · Answer

If thats right then I think ive got the rest covered XD

misty1212 · Answer

I!!the slope of 
$$ax+by=-c$$ is always 
$$m=-\frac{a}{b}$$

anonymous · Answer

to make it easy for just solve for y

misty1212 · Answer

in  your case $a=4,b=-8$ so it is not hard to compute

anonymous · Answer

Well i dont really know how to solve fr y in this kind of equation XD

anonymous · Answer

So its 4/-8?

misty1212 · Answer

do you know how to compute $-\frac{a}{b}$?

misty1212 · Answer

oh no dear you are off by a minus sign

anonymous · Answer

so its 1/-2?

misty1212 · Answer

there is one in the form, and one in the $-8$

anonymous · Answer

didivde top and bottom by  bruhh

anonymous · Answer

i mean

anonymous · Answer

4

misty1212 · Answer

literally 
$$-\frac{4}{-8}$$ butin reality$$\frac{1}{2}$$

oh! ooooh ok i get it thanks!
