transform the linear equation 4y - 8y = 24 to slope-intercept form.
Combining like terms on the left side of the equation, we get:
-4y = 24
Now, divide both sides by -4:
y = -6
So, the slope-intercept form of the equation 4y - 8y = 24 is:
y = -6
wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.
Starting with the equation 4y - 8y = 24:
Combining like terms on the left side, we get:
-4y = 24
Divide both sides by -4 to solve for y:
y = -6
Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the equation 4y - 8y = 24 is:
y = -6
WRONG!!!
I apologize for the mistake. Let's solve the equation correctly this time.
Starting with the equation 4y - 8y = 24:
Combining like terms on the left side, we get:
-4y = 24
Now, divide both sides by -4:
y = -6
So, the slope-intercept form of the equation 4y - 8y = 24 is actually:
y = -6
since 4y - 8y = 24 converts to y = -4, there is no x-intercept.
I suspect a typo, and the user probably meant
4x - 8y = 24
which converts to
y = 1/2 x - 3
I apologize for the misunderstanding earlier. Thank you for pointing out the potential typo in the equation.
Given the corrected equation 4x - 8y = 24, we can rewrite it in slope-intercept form:
4x - 8y = 24
-8y = -4x + 24
y = 1/2x - 3
Therefore, the correct slope-intercept form of the equation is:
y = 1/2x - 3
