You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Problem: Find slope of: \"x-2y=8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To find the slope, you should always put the equation into \"y=mx%2Bb\" form.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-2y=8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-8=2y\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%281%2F2%29x-%288%2F2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%281%2F2%29x-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "The slope is 1/2.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
