Question 131157: I jsut want to be sure I have this problem done right - can you check it for me?
Find the slope and y-intercept of the line 8x + 4y = 24.
8x + 4y = 24
- 8x + 4y = -8x + 24
4/4y = -8/4x + 24/4
y = - 2/1x + 6
Thanks!

Start with the given equation

Subtract from both sides

Rearrange the equation

Divide both sides by

Break up the fraction

Reduce

So the equation is now in slope-intercept form () where the slope is and the y-intercept is

So you have the correct answer.
