Question

4+3x=y
what is the slope with fan and Medal

Answer 1

Hi @Butterfield1215 , the easiest way to find the slope is to solve for y

The goal is to get this equation in slope intercept form, which is \(y=mx+b\)

Answer 2

ok

Answer 3

In this equation, however, we already solved for y. we just need to rearrange the equation.

y=3x+4

Answer 4

so its 3/1

Answer 5

Yeah. You don't need to make it a fraction.

Answer 6

oh ok

Answer 7

\[\frac {3}{1} = 3\]

Answer 8

But in the equation \(y=mx+b\)
\(\ast\)m is the slope
\(\ast\)b is the y intercept.

so the value next to x is the slope. and you don't need to make it a fraction :)

Answer 9

Does that make sense to you? anytime, given and equation in \(y=mx+b\) format, the \(m\) is ALWAYS the slope :)

Answer 10

I understand what your saying
