Question

Find the slope m and y intercept b of the line whose equation is given:
4x+3y=24

Answer 1

do you know where to start?

Answer 2

All I have is 3y=4x-24 and then I'm stuck

Answer 3

divide both sides by 3. that means every term in both sides. you get y=(4/3)x-8
do you know what slope-intercept form is?

Answer 4

I have a terrible teacher and am just going by the book. I know y=mx+b

Answer 5

so the number with x is the slope and the number not with x is the y intercept
if the equation is y=mx+b, m is the slope and b is the intercept

Answer 6

So m=4/3 and b=8?

Answer 7

b=-8
you have to include the - sign

Answer 8

I get it! Thanks!
