Question

Find the slope of the line whose equation is 8y = 4 - 3x.

Answer 1

Answer: $\dfrac{-3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of a line in intercept form is given by :-

$y=mx+c$, where m is the slope of line and c represents the y-intercept of the line.

The given equation : $8y = 4 - 3x$

Divide 8 on both the sides , we get

$y = \dfrac{1}{2} -\dfrac{3}{8}x\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-\dfrac{3}{8}x+ \dfrac{1}{2}$

We can see that, the slope of the line : $m=\dfrac{-3}{8}$

Answer 2

The slope is 3
whatever is in front of the x is the slope
