What is the slope intercept form of the equation -8x-2y equals 16?

Answer 1

-8x -2y = 16

Algebraically rearrange into the form ' y = mx + c'.

Hence

2y = -8x - 16

Divide both sides by '2'

y = -4x - 8

Hence

'm' the slope is '-4'

'c' the y-intersect is '-8'.

NB The equation can be in numerous forms : -

-8x - 2y - 16 = 0

8x + 2y + 16 = 0

-8x = 2x + 16

Answer 2

-4 is the slope because

-2y=8x+16

y= -4x - 8
