Question

Find the slope of the line whose equation is 8y = 4 - 3x.

-3/8
-8/3
2

Answer 1

get it into the form y = mx + b

Answer 2

8y=-3x+4

Answer 3

isolate the y..do you know how to do that?

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

y=-3/8x+4

Answer 6

if you divide the equation by 8..you will isolate y

y =-3x/8 + 4/8
ok?

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

so now in this form what is the coeffiecient of x?

Answer 9

-3/8

Answer 10

so remember ..in the form
y=mx+b

m is always the slope
so what is the slope now?

Answer 11

m=-3/8

Answer 12

yes..good..so thats the slope..got it?
