Question

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

Answer 1

slope intercept form y=mx+b
8x-2y=5 can be written as y=4x-5/2
slope= b=4;
y-intercept= -5/2

Answer 2

slope :- if general form of straight line ,
ax + by + c = 0 then, slope of this line = -a/b

here , line : 8x -2y = 5
so, slope of this line = -(8/-2)= 4


y - intercept means value of y where x=0
so, 8x - 2y = 5
8 × 0 -2y = 5
y = -5/2
hence, y - intercept = -5/2
