Question

find the slope of the line 8x-2y-1=0​

Answer 1

The value of the slope is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is 8x-2y-1 = 0​

By rearranging the equation:  

8x - 2y = 1

The straight-line equation for cartesian coordinate system is y = mx + b

Here

• y = the upward distance y by the line
• x = o  along x-axis
• m = slope of gradient
• b = intercept

Now when x = 0

y = 1 / -2  = - 0.500

When y = 0

Then x = 1/8 = 0.12500

Slope = Change in y / change in x

When x = 0 ; y = -0.5 and when x = 2 ; y= 7.5

Slope = 4

Thus the value of the slope is 4.
