Question 50368: Coula anyone help with the following equation: 2x + 8y = -16 Thanks! Found 2 solutions by stanbon, tutorcecilia:Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2x + 8y = -16
------------
Divide thru by 2 to get:
x+4y=-8
solve for y as follows:
y=-(1/4)(x+8)
Cheers,

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2x + 8y = -16 [Re-write in the slope-intercept form: y = mx+b]
2x + 8y = -16 [solve for y]
2x-2x+8y=-2x-16
8y=-2x-16
8y/8=-2x/8 - 16/8
y=-2/8x - 16/8
y = -1/4x - 2
