Change the equation from standard form to slope-intercept form by solving for y.
8х - 4y = 24
Determine who changed the equation correctly:
Bob:
Subtract 8x from both sides: -4y = - 8x + 24
Divide by -4 on both sides: y = 2x - 6
Bill:
Subtract 8x from both sides: -4y = 16x
Divide by -4 on both sides: y = - 4x
Bud:
Subtract 8x from both sides: -4 = -8x + 24
Divide by -4 on both sides: y = 2x + 24

Bob is the one who changed the equation correctly.
To change the equation from standard form to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), we need to solve for y.
Starting with the equation:
8x - 4y = 24
Bob's steps are as follows:
1. Subtract 8x from both sides: -4y = -8x + 24
2. Divide by -4 on both sides: y = 2x - 6
Bob correctly isolated y by subtracting 8x from both sides and then dividing by -4. The resulting equation, y = 2x - 6, is in slope-intercept form.
