4x−8y=24
4 x minus 8 y equals 24

y=12x−3
y equals Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction x minus 3

4x−8y−24=0
4 x minus 8 y minus 24 equals 0

−8y=−4x+24
negative 8 y equals negative 4 x plus 24

Answer 1

To transform the equation 4x - 8y = 24 into slope-intercept form, we need to solve for y. Let's do that step-by-step:

4x - 8y = 24
-8y = -4x + 24 (Rearrange the terms.)
y = (1/2)x - 3 (Divide both sides by -8 and simplify.)

Therefore, the equation in slope-intercept form is y = (1/2)x - 3.
