Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = x/4 - 6?

A. -6
B. 4
C. 3/2
D. 1/4

Answer 1

@Vijeya3 Please help, I stink at slopes.

Answer 2

lol...do u knw the meaning of this equation?

Answer 3

No.

Answer 4

Okay...there is a formula...
y=fx+c
where c is the intercept
f is the slope and
x is the x-coordinate and y is the y-coordinate
Does this give u any idea how to solve it?

Answer 5

I think so yeah.

Answer 6

So..what do u think is the answer?
To be honest...I have learnt this thing this very morning!:D

Answer 7

I thought slope was "y=mx+b"

Answer 8

@Maria195 what's in an alphabet...My textbook says it is f...ur textbook says that it is m...:D

Answer 9

Lol I thought that's how it always was. You can even look up "slope-intercept form" on Google, it'll come up with the same thing.

Answer 10

Okay...i dunno...my textbook says whatever i have written...but the idea is the same right?

Answer 11

You use the formula....

\(\huge\color{green}{y=mx+b}\)
\(\huge{~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~|}\)
\(\Large\color{red}{~~~~~~~~slope~~~~~y-intercept}\)

Answer 12

They are the same @Vijeya3 :P

Answer 13

Sure....ofcourse it is..:D

Answer 14

But I think the answer might be D

Answer 15

I think so as well.

Answer 16

That is correct ^^ It is infact \(\huge\color{red}{\frac{1}{4}}\)

Answer 17

Thanks guys.

Answer 18

\(\Huge\cal\rlap{\color{red}{No~Problem!:)}}{\color{blue}{\;No~Problem!:)}}\)
