You can put this solution on YOUR website!

slope-intercept form: y=mx%2Bb where m is slope and b is y-intercept
in case you have
y=x-8%2F2...compare to y=mx%2Bb
since y=x-8%2F2 same as y=highlight%281%29%2Ax-4, means slope m=1 and y-intercept b=-4
but, in case you have
y=%28x-8%29%2F2
y=x%2F2-8%2F2
y=%281%2F2%29x-4->slope m=1%2F2
