y=12x−3
y equals Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction x minus 3
4x−8y=24
4 x minus 8 y equals 24
4x−8y−24=0
4 x minus 8 y minus 24 equals 0
−8y=−4x+24
In order to transform the linear equation 4x−8y=24 into slope-intercept form, we need to isolate the y variable on one side of the equation.
Starting with the equation:
4x−8y=24
We can begin by subtracting 4x from both sides to get rid of the x term:
-8y=-4x+24
Next, we can divide the entire equation by -8 to solve for y:
y = (-4x + 24)/(-8)
Simplifying the equation further, we get:
y = 1/2x - 3
Therefore, the equation 4x−8y=24 in slope-intercept form is:
y = 1/2x - 3
