Question

What is the slope of the line 4y – 6x + 12 = 0 in simplest form?

will fan and medal

Answer 1

4y - 6x + 12

We can rearrange into slope-intercept form.

4y - 6x + 12

Subtract 12 to both sides:

4y - 6x = -12

Add 6x to both sides, what do you get?

Answer 2

4y=-6

Answer 3

Not quite.

Answer 4

We are not combining anything because there are no like terms, try again.

Answer 5

4y= 6x-12?

Answer 6

Yes!

Now divide 4 to both sides.

Answer 7

4y divided by 12 would be 3 and that would be 6x-3?

Answer 8

Yes, but we also divide it to 6.

Answer 9

That gives us 6/4x

Answer 10

SO we have:

y = 6/4x - 3

Can you simplify 6/4? Divide the numerator and denominator by 2.

Answer 11

*So

Answer 12

3/2

Answer 13

just remember y=mx+b m is the slope

Answer 14

Yes, so the slope is 3/2.

Answer 15

I agree.
