Question

Rewrite the following equation in slope intercept form 8x - 2y = -15Write your answer using integers, proper fractions, and improper fractions in simplest form.

Answer 1

The given equation is

$8x-2y=-15$

To express it in slope-intercept form, we have to solve the equation for y.

$\begin{gathered} -2y=-15-8x \\ 2y=15+8x \\ y=\frac{8x+15}{2} \\ y=4x+\frac{15}{2} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the equation in slope-intercept form is

$y=4x+\frac{15}{2}$
