ACT MATH PREP Q: What is the slope-intercept for of 8x-y-6=0???

Answer 1

@Musicdude @

Answer 2

so to get slope intercept you have to isolate y

Answer 3

hmmm if you solve that for "y", what does it look like?

Answer 4

so add 6 to the other side subtract 8x then change the signs because you divide by -1

Answer 5

thats all

Answer 6

i got y=8x+6 I already know the answer, I just need to know how to do it not the answer

Answer 7

hmmm check your signs again

Answer 8

but that's quite close

Answer 9

yea

Answer 10

y=8x-6

Answer 11

the way you do this is by trying to get it to slope-intercept form which is y=mx+b

Answer 12

\(8x-y-6=0\implies
\begin{array}{llll}
{\color{brown}{ 8}} x&-{\color{blue}{ 6}}=y\\
\uparrow &\uparrow \\
{\color{brown}{ slope}}&{\color{blue}{ y-intercept}}
\end{array}\impliedby slope-intercept\ form\)

Answer 13

ok, thanks

Answer 14

np

Answer 15

well... actaullly includes the negative, so \(8x-y-6=0\implies
\begin{array}{llll}
{\color{brown}{ 8}} x&{\color{blue}{- 6}}=y\\
\uparrow &\uparrow \\
{\color{brown}{ slope}}&{\color{blue}{ y-intercept}}
\end{array}\impliedby slope-intercept\ form\)
