Slope Intercept 73F17B
1. The problem is to transpose the equation $$2x + 4y = 8$$ into slope-intercept form, which is $$y = mx + c$$ where $$m$$ is the slope and $$c$$ is the y-intercept.
2. Start with the given equation:
$$2x + 4y = 8$$
3. To isolate $$y$$, subtract $$2x$$ from both sides:
$$4y = -2x + 8$$
4. Now divide every term by 4 to solve for $$y$$:
$$y = \frac{-2x}{4} + \frac{8}{4}$$
5. Simplify the fractions:
$$y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 2$$
6. This is the slope-intercept form where the slope $$m = -\frac{1}{2}$$ and the y-intercept $$c = 2$$.
7. Comparing with the options given, the correct answer is:
$$y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 2$$
