What is the slope of the graph of 12x + 3y = –17? A. -4 B. -1/4 C. 1/4 D. 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A.) -4

OpenStudy (harsha19111999):

Slope is given by -a/b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But you have to get it into y= form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is tom tom wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can also know by solving for y soo 3y = -12x -17 the divide by 3 and get y = -4x -(17/3) and your slope in y intercept form is always the coefficent of X

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the awnser is -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im correct the slope is -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
