Q. Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.20y−16x=80Answer:
Isolate y: First, we want to isolate y on one side of the equation to get it into slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.We start by adding 16x to both sides of the equation 20y−16x=80.20y=16x+80
Add 16x: Next, we divide every term by 20 to solve for y.y=2016x+80
Divide by 20: Now, we simplify the right side of the equation by dividing both terms by 20.y=2016x+2080
Simplify equation: We can reduce the fractions by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4 for 2016 and 20 for 2080. y=(54)x+4
