Question

When the equation 3x - 4y = 24 is written in slope-intercept form, what is the value of m?

Answer 1

is it 3 ?

Answer 2

what do you get when you solve for y

Answer 3

y = 3(x - 8) / 4 ??

Answer 4

can you write that in the form y = mx+b

Answer 5

and what you got is a bit off, but you're onto the right path to get the correct slope

Answer 6

hmm...

Answer 7

idk

Answer 8

Here's a similar example


\[\large 2x - 7y = 35\]


\[\large -7y = -2x+35\]


\[\large y = \frac{-2x+35}{-7}\]


\[\large y = \frac{-2x}{-7}+\frac{35}{-7}\]


\[\large y = \frac{2}{7}x-5\]


The last equation is in y = mx+b form where


m = 2/7
b = -5


So the slope of this example is 2/7


This is NOT your answer as it's just an example

Answer 9

3x - 4y = 24

-4y = -3x + 24

y = -3x + 24 / -4

y = -3x / -4 + 24 / -4

y = 3/4x - 6

Answer 10

perfect, you nailed it

Answer 11

so the slope is m = ???

Answer 12

3/4

Answer 13

correct

Answer 14

thank you :)
