Question

Check my answer please !

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is 3x – 4y = 8?
(Points : 4)
(Wont let me add the fractions )
i got 4/3

Answer 1

Can you put your equation in the following form?

y=mx+b

If you can, your answer is the "m" in this equation.

Answer 2

How do I get it in that form?

Answer 3

no,it is not 4/3

Answer 4

its 3/4

Answer 5

correct.

Answer 6

$$
3x – 4y = 8\\
3x – 4y\color{red}{-3x}=8\color{red}{-3x}\\
-4y=8-3x\\
$$
Do you see this?
Now divide the whole thing by -4 and see what you get for the slope
$$
\cfrac{-4y}{-4}=\cfrac{8-3x}{-4}
$$
See it now? y = mx + b
