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

4x−8y=24
4 x minus 8 y equals 24

To transform the linear equation 4x-8y=24 to slope-intercept form, we want to isolate y on one side of the equation.

4x - 8y = 24

We can start by subtracting 4x from both sides:

-8y = -4x + 24

Next, we divide both sides by -8 to solve for y:

y = (-4x + 24)/-8

Finally, we simplify the right side of the equation:

y = -1/2x + 3
