What is the slope of the line described by the equation –4x + 6y = 12?

Question

anonymous · Answer

first you have to get the intercepts of both x and y by plugging in 0 for one at a time.
–4x + 6(0) = 12
–4x = 12
12 / -4 = x intercept.

–4(0) + 6y = 12
6y = 12
12 / 6 = y intercept.

can you do this for me?

um couldn't you just put this in slope intercept form?

answer choices???

if i'm right.... wouldn't you just get y by itself by adding x. and then dividing by 6???

i'm not sure what you mean ^^
the easiest way for me is to convert then graph.
i really don't understand any other method.
