you'll have to get rid of the 3 so that we can get the value of x. in other words the value of 3 xs is 81, but we need the value of only 1 x, which is why we're gonna divide both sides by 3. to get the value of only 1 x.
The slope will be -3/4 To find slope you just place the change in y over the change in x. 2- -1=3 0-4= -4 The slope is -3/4 which is the same as before
