In order to find the slope, you need to get y by itself.
Follow the equation: y = mx + b
m = slope
-48 = 2x - 8y
Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation.
-2x - 48 = (2x - 2x) - 8y
(I find it easier to have y first in the equation, but either way is fine.)
-8y = -2x - 48
Divide every number by -8.
-8y/-8 = (-2x/-8) + (-48/-8)
y = 1/4x + 6
y = mx + b
m = 1/4

What is the slope of the line whose equation is y - equals 0?
y = 0That's the equation of the x-axis.Its slope is zero.
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2y x - 1?
Get the slope of the given line, by putting it into slope-intercept form. Then you can divide minus one by this slope, to get the slope of any perpendicular line.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to line whose equation is y 5 3x plus 8 3?
x - 4y = 3 is the slope of a line perpendicular to line whose equation is y -5 3x plus 8 3.
What is the slope of the perpendicular to the line whose equation is y equals 5x-7?

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is y 2x 5?
If you mean y = 2x+5 then the perpendicular slope is -1/2
What is the slope of the line whose equation is y - equals 0?
y = 0That's the equation of the x-axis.Its slope is zero.
What is a slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is y equals 5x 4?
The slope is 5. Parallel lines always have the same slope.
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2y x - 1?
Get the slope of the given line, by putting it into slope-intercept form. Then you can divide minus one by this slope, to get the slope of any perpendicular line.
What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x y 4 -2 - 2?
1) Solve the given equation for "y". The resulting equation will be in slope-intercept form, so you can immediately read off its slope. 2) Any line parallel to that line will have the same slope.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to line whose equation is y 5 3x plus 8 3?
x - 4y = 3 is the slope of a line perpendicular to line whose equation is y -5 3x plus 8 3.
What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3X plus 2Y equals 9?
the slope will be positive 1.5x the whole equation is y=4.5+1.5x
What is the slope of the line represented by the equation x equals -3?
x = -3 represents a vertical line whose slope is undefined.
What is the slope of the perpendicular to the line whose equation is y equals 5x-7?

Find the slope of the line whose equation is 8y = 2x + 4.?
0.25
What is the slope of the line whose equation is 3x-4y-16 equals 0?
The slope would be 3/4
What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is y - x equals 5?
1, it will have the same slope but the y intercept will be different.
What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x - y equals 7?
-5
