to slope-intercept form.(1 point)
Responses

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

4x−8y=24
4 x minus 8 y equals 24

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

y=12x−3

To transform the equation \(4x - 8y = 24\) into slope-intercept form (\(y = mx + b\)), follow these steps:

1. Start with the original equation:
\[
4x - 8y = 24
\]

2. Isolate the term with \(y\) by moving \(4x\) to the right side:
\[
-8y = -4x + 24
\]

3. Divide every term by \(-8\) to solve for \(y\):
\[
y = \frac{-4}{-8}x + \frac{24}{-8}
\]

4. Simplify:
\[
y = \frac{1}{2}x - 3
\]

Thus, the equation in slope-intercept form is:
\[
y = \frac{1}{2}x - 3
\]
