Question

1. convert the linear equation below to slope-intercept form and identify the slope.

-2y = 4x - 8
slope:
slope-intercept form:

Explanation:

Step1: Divide all terms by -2

$\frac{-2y}{-2} = \frac{4x}{-2} - \frac{8}{-2}$

Step2: Simplify each term

$y = -2x + 4$

Step3: Identify the slope

In $y=mx+b$, $m$ is slope.

Answer:

Slope-Intercept Form: $y = -2x + 4$
Slope: $-2$
