Somebody please help!!!

Solve this problem and put it into slope-intercept form.

x - 4y = 2

which is

y = 1/4x - 1/2

Now I know that this basically means that the slope is 1/4 or 1 over 4 but how do I graph the -1/2 part?

Are you working this problem:  y = 1/4x - 1/2
or
the one above it?

anonymous · Answer

That is the problem above but put into slope-intercept form. So yeah, I'm working with 
y= 1/4 x+ −1/2

anonymous · Answer

y = 1/4x - 1/2

directrix · Answer

This -->  y = 1/4x - 1/2

is not what you get when you solve for y on this -->x + 2y = 8

directrix · Answer

x + 2y = 8 

2y + x = 8

2y = -x + 8

y = (-1/2) * x  + 4   is what I get when solving for y in the top equation.

Whoops. :/ Mistake on my part. The equation is supposed to be x - 4y = 2
