What is the slope of the line 2y8x-3?

Answer 1

Is that really the equation? 2y8x-3=0? Or should it be 2y+8x-3 or 2y-8x-3....

Either way the goal is to get this equation to the y=mx+b format. m being the slope and b being where x crosses zero. Lets start (I'll use 2y-8x-3=0 for easy signs).

Lets add 3 to both sides

2y-8x-3+3=0+3 -> 2y-8x=3

Now lets add 8x to both sides

2y-8x+8x=3+8x -> 2y=8x+3

Now we need to divide 2 on both sides so that y is by itself

(2y/2)=(8x+3)/2 -> y=(8x+3)/2

Let's simplify

y=8x/2 + 3/2 -> y=4x + 3/2

Now look back at what we wanted (y=mx + b) and our equation is now in that format. Since m is the slope, the actual slope of the line will be 4
