Question

What is the slope of the line 12x + 4y = 24
What is the answer?

Answer 1

y=-3x+6

Answer 2

the slope is -3

Answer 3

this is the formula of slope
y=mx+b
12x+4y=24
separate the y
4y=24-12x
4y=4(6-3x) since;..... 4\4=1
y=6-3x
y=-3x+6
m=-3
this is the slope

Answer 4

Put it into y=mx+b form,
12x + 4y = 24

then move the 12x to the other side to put it in slope intercept form, which would make it -12x

4y = -12x + 24

then divide each number by 4 to get Y by itself

y= -3x+6

-3 is the slope (m in the y=mx+b formula)
