What is the slope-intercept form of \(24x - 8y = 56\)?

Asked by kenna1200

Answer (3)

1)Your current problem is in standard form. All you need to do is subtract your X value from both sides leaving you with
-8y= -24x+56
Then divide the entire thing by 8 in order to figure out what y equals
-8y= -24x+56

-8 -8 -8
If finding the value of Y, your answer should look like this:
y=3x-7
If finding the value of X, you would add your Y value to 56 on the right:
24x=8y+56
Then divide the whole thing by 24 and you get something funky like:
x=(1/3)y+(8/3)

If in parenthesis, it's meant to be in fraction form.

The slope intercept form of the equation 24 x − 8 y = 56 is y = 3 x − 7 , where '3' is the slope of the line and '-7' is the y-intercept. ;

To convert the equation 24 x − 8 y = 56 to slope-intercept form, rearrange it to get y = 3 x − 7 . Here, the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is -7. This shows how the line behaves on a graph.
