To convert the equation 8x - 5y = -40 into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, you need to solve for y. First, isolate y by subtracting 8x from both sides to get -5y = -8x - 40. Then, divide by -5 to get y = 8/5x + 8, which is the slope-intercept form of the equation. The slope is 8/5 and the y-intercept is 8.
8-8x=8x+18 Through simple algebra, this can be manipulated to solve for x: 8=16x+18 -10=16x -5/8=x
8x+40
8x+7=55 8x=55-7 8x=48 x=48/8 x=6
8(x+5) is equivalent to 8x+40
