Answer
m = 4
b = -2
Step-by-step explanation
Given the expression:
[tex]8x-2y=4[/tex]Isolating y:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8x-2y-8x=4-8x \\ -2y=-8x+4 \\ \frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{-8x+4}{-2} \\ y=\frac{-8x}{-2}+\frac{4}{-2} \\ y=4x-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]This equation has the form:
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line.
By comparing:
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=4 \\ b=-2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
