Question

Transform the linear equation 4x−8y=24 to slope-intercept form. a. 4x−8y−24=0 b. y=12x−3 c. −8y=−4x+24 d. 4x−8y=24

Answer 1

Solve for y:
4x − 8y = 24
−8y = −4x + 24
y = (−4/−8)x + 24/−8 = (1/2)x − 3

So the slope-intercept form is y = (1/2)x − 3. None of the provided choices match this (c is an intermediate step).
