in the formula for slope intercept form is the easiest way for me to find the slope of an equation
y=mx%2Bb where m= slope
so:
1) was 1 suppose to be y=2x%2B1, or subtract 2x
-6y=8-2x divide by -6
y=%288-2x%29%2F-6 divide each by -6
y=%28%288%29%2F-6%29%2B%28%28-2x%29%2F-6%29 reduce and check signs
y=-4%2F3%2Bx%2F3 communitive proporty of addition
y=x%2F3-4%2F3 identify the slope
y=%281%2F3%29x-4%2F3
m=1%2F3
slope is 1%2F3
.
3)4-y=0
4=y
m=0 no slope
.
4)2y=-x
y=-x%2F2
y=%28-1%2F2%29x
m=-1%2F2 slope is -1%2F2
