Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying all fractions.
20, x, plus, 4, y, equals, 8
20x+4y=
8
To put the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation.
Starting with the equation: 20x + 4y = 8
First, subtract 20x from both sides:
4y = -20x + 8
Next, divide every term by 4 to solve for y:
y = (-20/4)x + (8/4)
Simplifying the fractions:
y = -5x + 2
