16x%2B2y=72 ...write it in slope-intercept form y=mx%2Bb where m is a slop and b y-intercept
2y=-16x%2B72

y=-16x%2F2%2B72%2F2

y=-8x%2B36
so, the slope is: m=-8 and y-intercept is b=36

Find slope and y intercept of line 16x+2y=72
Equation of a line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
6x+2y=72
2y=-6x+72
y=-3x+36
slope=-3
y-intercept:
set x=0
2y=72
y=36(y-intercept)
