Question

What is the slope of the line whose equation is −48=2x−8y? Medal will be given!

Answer 1

Alright let's just turn the equation around.

Answer 2

2x-8y=-48?

Answer 3

Wait... Let me see LOL
Haven't quite mastered this yet...

Answer 4

solve for y,

the slope will be "m"
\[y=mx+b\]

Answer 5

^
That's what I'm trying to do.
So don't you turn the equation around?

Answer 6

doesnt really matter

Answer 7

i mean, you could write it b+mx=y
slope will still be m

Answer 8

So how do we find it in this equation?

Answer 9

-48 = 2x - 8y

Rearrange to y = mx +b
-48 + -2x = -8y

Divide both sides by -8

Answer 10

-40+-2x=y?

Answer 11

-48/-8 = 6
-2/-8 = 1/4 -- yo ucan just leave this as a fraction

Answer 12

oh

Answer 13

Yep so you get
6 + (1/4)x = y
So in y = mx + b, form
y = (1/4)x + 6

m = slope

Answer 14

Okay I get now thank you all :D

Answer 15

So do I!
Thanks ahah!!
