Question

What is the slope of the line 4x – 8y – 16 = 0 in simplest form?

?/?

Answer 1

in xyz form right?

Answer 2

first rewrite that in slope intercept form
\[y=mx+b\]
you can do this by solving for y

Answer 3

fan and medal.

Answer 4

or just divide everything by -8
tp get \[\frac{-1}{2}x+y+2=0\]
so the slope is -1/2

Answer 5

i mean 1/2

Answer 6

do you get it?

Answer 7

if you did the other way solving for y
you should have
\[y=\frac{1}{2}x-2\]
so m=1/2
m is the slope

Answer 8

ohh

Answer 9

so then the answer would be -1/2
