To find the slope, write your equation in the slope-intercept form y = mx + b.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8x - 2y = 48\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-2y = (-8x + 48)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = (-8x + 48)/-2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = 4x - 24\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The slope is the number next to x or 4.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
