Given the equation:

4x - 2y = -8

Write in slope intercept form.

Solution:

Slope intercept form is presented in: 

y = mx + b

Therefore we transpose -2y and -8 on the opposite sides. It must be taken to note that when transposing a number, the sign changes.

2y = 4x +8

Divide both sides by 2 in order to determine the slope intercept form.

Slope Intercept form: y = 2x + 4
