Question

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

Answer 1

X/4=x*1/4
Therefore, the slope would be 1/4

Answer 2

Answer:

Slope-intercept form: In the equation of a straight line  y =mx+b ......[1],

the slope  m is the number that is multiplied on the x,

and b  is the y-intercept i.e, the point where the line crosses the vertical y -axis.

Given equation of line:  $y = \frac{x}{4} - 6$

we can write this as;

$y = \frac{1}{4}x +(-6)$  ......[2]

On comparing equation [2] with equation [1] we get;

$m = \frac{1}{4}$ and b = -6.

Therefore, the slope(m) of the line represented by the equation  $y = \frac{x}{4} - 6$  would be,   $\frac{1}{4}$
