Question

write the linear equation in slope-intercept form and simplify
8x - 2y = 2

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the y-term

Subtract \(8x\) from both sides: \(-2y = -8x + 2\)

Step2: Solve for y

Divide every term by \(-2\): \(y = \frac{-8x}{-2} + \frac{2}{-2}\)
Simplify each term: \(y = 4x - 1\)

Answer:

\(y = 4x - 1\)
