Question

Determine the value of the slope for the linear function 2X -8X equals 4

Answer 1

$\begin{gathered} \text{Equation} \\ y=mx+b \\ m=\text{slope} \\ 2x-8y=40 \\ \text{solving y} \\ 8y=2x-40 \\ y=\frac{2x}{8}-\frac{40}{8} \\ y=\frac{1}{4}x-5,\text{ then} \\ \text{slope is }\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}$
