Question

Identify the correct slope and y intercept of the equation 3x - 3y = 4.

Answer 1

What do you get when you solve for y?

Answer 2

-4/3?

Answer 3

For the equation in the form \(ax + by = c\)

Slope is given by:

\[Slope = -\frac{x \; \; coefficient}{y \; \; coefficient}\]

Answer 4

Solve for y to get


\[\Large 3x - 3y = 4\]


\[\Large -3y = - 3x + 4\]


\[\Large y = \frac{- 3x + 4}{-3}\]


\[\Large y = \frac{-3x}{-3} + \frac{4}{-3}\]


\[\Large y = x - \frac{4}{3}\]

Answer 5

So what is the slope of

\[\Large y = x - \frac{4}{3}\]
