Question

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

Answer 1

Transform the equation so it looks like Y = mX + b

Answer 2

3x-4y=24

Since 3x does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 3x from both sides.
-4y=-3x+24

Divide each term in the equation by -4.
-(4y)/(-4)=-(3x)/(-4)+(24)/(-4)

Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
y=-(3x)/(-4)+(24)/(-4)

Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
y=(3x)/(4)-6

To find the slope and y intercept, use the y=mx+b formula where m=slope and b is the y intercept.
y=mx+b

Using the y=mx+b formula, m=(3)/(4) and b=-6.
m=(3)/(4), b=-6
