We have the following:
[tex]-32y=-8x-16[/tex]solving for y:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{-32}{-32}y=\frac{-8}{-32}x+\frac{-16}{-32} \\ y=\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]The equation has the form of:
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]where, m is the slope, making tge comparison, the slope of the equation would ve 1/4
