Q. Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.2x−2y=16Answer:
Subtract 2x from both sides: To convert the equation into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), we need to solve for y. Let's start by subtracting 2x from both sides of the equation.Calculation: 2x−2y−2x=16−2xSimplification: −2y=−2x+16
Divide every term by −2: Now, we divide every term by −2 to isolate y.Calculation: (−2y)/(−2)=(−2x)/(−2)+16/(−2)Simplification: y=x−8
Final result: We have successfully converted the equation into slope-intercept form. The slopem is 1, and the y-interceptb is −8.
