Question

How do you find the slope of `4y - 2x = -16`?

Answer 1

Slope would be `1/2`
Rewrite the equation as 4y= 2x -16. Now divide the equation by 4, to have y= `1/2`x-4. The coefficient of x, in this form of the equation, is the slope of the line represented by the equation. This is called the slope-intercept form of a line.
