Q. Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.8y−10x=−56Answer:
Add 10x to isolate y-term: Add 10x to both sides of the equation to isolate the y-term on one side.Calculation: 8y−10x+10x=−56+10xThis simplifies to 8y=10x−56
Divide every term by 8: Divide every term by 8 to solve for y and to put the equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b).Calculation: y=810x−56This simplifies to y=810x−856
Simplify fractions: Simplify the fractions in the equation.Calculation: y=45x−7
