Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.

20x−8y=40

1 answer

To put the equation into slope-intercept form, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation. Let's simplify the equation by dividing every term by 8:

20x - 8y = 40

(20x - 8y)/8 = 40/8

2.5x - y = 5

Finally, let's rearrange the equation to solve for y:

-y = -2.5x + 5

y = 2.5x - 5
