Question

What is the slope of 8x - 2y-1=0?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+c

-2y = -8x+1

y = 4x+1/4

m = 4

c = 1/4
