Question

What is the slope of the line represented by (1/8)x + 3y=3

Answer 1

1/8x + 3y=3
3y = 1/8x + 3
You divide straight through by 3 to get your answer

Answer 2

it is easier when you have the equation in standard form

Answer 3

y = mx+b

Answer 4

does that make sense?

Answer 5

your slope is going to be m and b is the intercept

Answer 6

Yes thanks

Answer 7

you're welcome :)

Answer 8

So would the answer be 2.6

Answer 9

no... the slope is represented by m in the equation so m = 1/8

Answer 10

do you see that?

Answer 11

So once you put it in standard form you get 3y=1/8x+3 right? Then you divide by 3?

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

So now y=.04167+1? What am I missing?
