Rewrite x − 2y = 16 in slope-intercept form as y = 1/2x - 8.
Slope (m) = 1/2
Y-intercept (b) = -8.
The slope-intercept equation helps us to easily identify the rate of change/slope (m) and the y-intercept (b) of an equation. It is given as y = mx + b.
Given, x − 2y = 16, in order to identify the slope (m) and y-intercept (b), rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form:
x − 2y = 16
-2y = - x + 16
Divide both sides by -2
-2y/-2 = -x/-2 + 16/-2
y = 1/2x - 8
As a function it would be written as y = 1/2x - 8.
Slope (m) = 1/2
Y-intercept (b) = -8.
