Slope-intercept form of the equation is $\"y=mx%2Bb\"$ , where m is slope, (0,b) is y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-8y=16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-8y=-2x%2B16\"$ divide by (-8)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%28-2x%29%2F%28-8%29%2B16%2F%28-8%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=x%2F4-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The slope is $\"m=1%2F4\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
