8x-2y=12 solve for y and slope

Solve for yy ...

Since 8x8x does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right side of the equation by subtracting 8x8x from both sides.

-2y=-8x+12-2y=-8x+12

Divide each term by - 2-2 and simplify.

... y=4x - 6

The slope-intercept form is y=mx+by=mx+b,

where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept.

y=mx+by=mx+b

Find the values of mm and bb using the form y=mx+by=mx+b.

m=4m=4 b=-6b=-6

The slope of the line is the value of mm, and the y-intercept is the value of bb.

Slope: 44Y-Intercept: - 6

4 and - 6 because its 4x-6
