What are the slope and the y-intercept of the linear function that is represented by the equation 8x-2y = 5?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The slope is 4 and the y intercept is -5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

8x-2y = 5

Solve for y to get the equation in slope intercept form

Subtract 8x from each side

8x-8x-2y =-8x+ 5

-2y = -8x+5

Divide by -2

-2y/-2 = -8x/-2 + 5/-2

y = 4x -5/2

This is in slope intercept form y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is 4 and the y intercept is -5/2
