Write down the slope and the Y- intercept for the following equation, show the steps in converting the given equation in slope intercept form.
8x+4y=12

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = -2x +3\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\\text{Slope: -2}\\\text{Y-Intercept: 3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We would have to convert the standard equation into slope-intercept form.

======================================

Converting the equation into Slope-Intercept Form:

$8x + 4y = 12\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\8x - 8x + 4y = 12-8x\\\\4y = 12-8x\\\\4y = -8x + 12 \leftarrow \text{I switched the order on the right side.}\\\\\frac{4y=-8x+12}{4}\\\\\boxed{y = -2x + 3}$

======================================

Identifying the Slope and Y-Intercept:

General slope-intercept form is:

$y=mx + b\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\\text{m - Slope}\\\text{b - Y-Intercept}$

In the equation $y = -2x + 3$,  '-2' would be the slope since it is in 'm's place, and '3' would be the y-intercept since it's in 'b's place.

Therefore:

$\text{In } y=-2x+3\text{...}\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\\text{Slope: -2}\\\text{Y-Intercept: 3}$

======================================

Hope this helps!
