Question

What is the slope of the line whose equation is 4x – 6y = 12?

Answer 1

4x - 6y = 12...in y = mx + b form, the slope will be in the m position. So lets turn this equation into y = mx + b form.

4x - 6y = 12....subtract 4x from both sides
-6y = -4x + 12...now divide both sides by -6
y = (-4/-6)x + 12/-6
y = 2/3x - 2...y = mx + b.....slope(m) = 2/3 <==
