Question

In the standard (x,y) coordinate plane, what is the slope of the line 4x+7y=9?​

Answer 1

Answer: -4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, let's change the equation to slope-intercept form.

$4x+7y=9$              [subtract both sides by 4x]

$7y=-4x+9$           [divide both sides by 7]

$y=-\frac{4}{7}x+\frac{9}{7}$

Now, we know the slope is -4/7.
