Question

can anyone help me find the slope of a problem?

Answer 1

What's the problem?

Answer 2

6x-2y=-24

Answer 3

anyone here?

Answer 4

\[y =(-24-6x)-2 = 12-3x\]. in this case, the slope is the coefficient before the x, so -3

Answer 5

thanks :)

Answer 6

I think it is positive 3 because when you solve for y, 3 is the slope.

Answer 7

6x-2y=-24

We make y the subject of the equation. Then it becomes easy :)
To make y the subject, we do this:
\[6x-2y=-24\]
\[6x+24=2y\]
\[(6x+24)/2=y\]
\[3x+12=y\]
Since the equation for the slope of a line is: y=mx+c
m being the gradient... positive 3 is the slope of the line. :)
Hope I helped!
