The slope intercept form of a line is highlight%28y=mx%2Bb%29, m=slope, and (0,b) is the y-intercept.
Find the slope and y-intercept.
–x – 4y = –32
x-x-4y=x-32
-4y=x-32
-4y%2F-4=x%2F-4-32%2F-4
y=%28-1%2F4%29x%2B8
y=highlight%28-1%2F4%29x%2B8, the slope m=-1/4
y=%28-1%2F4%29x%2Bhighlight%288%29, the y-intercept is (0,b)=(0,8), some teachers are happy with 8.
Happy Calculating!!!
