Question

Consider the following equation: −8x+2y=−1

A) Write the above equation in the form y=mx+b. Enter the values of m and b in the appropriate boxes below as integers or reduced fractions (in the form A/B.)

Answer: y=  x+ 

Preview m:   ; Preview b:  

B) Use your answer in part (A) to find the ordered pair that lies on this line when x=−4.

Answer: (−4, )

 

Enter your answer as an integer or a reduced fraction in the form A/B.

Answer 1

-8x+2y= -1 write above equation in slope intercept form

y=mx+b

2y=8x-1

y=4x-1/2 y-intercept is b= -1/2

plug this value in slope-intercept form to find the answer

if b is -1/2 then (0,-1/2)

-8x+2(4x-1/2)=-1
