What is the slope of the line 4x + 6y = 12?

Question

anonymous · Answer

So if you switch it from standard form to slope-intercept
you;
1) isolate the 'y' intercept
6y = -4x + 12
2) divide each side by 6
y = (-4x + 12) / (6)
3) determine the solution
y = -0.67x + 2

anonymous · Answer

$$4x+6y=12 => 6y=-4x+12 => y=-\frac{ 4 }{ 6 }x+2$$
compare it with standard eq. (y=mx+c) so slope is -4/6

anonymous · Answer

remember what I told you
m = slope
so what's the slope?

anonymous · Answer

4x? i suck at this!

anonymous · Answer

Lol you're doing fine, the slope-intercept form is
y = mx + b
where 'm' is the slope
what number came before 'x' in the equation?

anonymous · Answer

these are the choices 
A. 2/3
B. 2
C. -2/3
D. 6

i dont know which one to pick ugh >.<

anonymous · Answer

-2/3 is equal to -0.67 AND -4/6

anonymous · Answer

ohh yeah i get it thanks

anonymous · Answer

its -2/3..

anonymous · Answer

Yep :)

took me a while,

anonymous · Answer

It took me a loooong while to get it down, but after a few years of algebra algebra 2 and geometry, it's easier >.<

anonymous · Answer

this is my 2nd year i'm still pretty lost with slope and this kind of stuff haha

anonymous · Answer

Don't fret, you'll get it :)

anonymous · Answer

i'm going to post 2 more and that will be it :)

anonymous · Answer

Okay :)
