Answer:
The slope of this line is 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve 12x - 4y = 3 for y to obtain the equation in slope-intercept form:
Add 4y to both sides, obtaining 12x = 3 + 4y
Subtract 3 from both sides: 12x - 3 = 4y
Finally, divide all terms by 4: y = 3x - 3/4
The slope of this line is 3.
Knowing the halfway point (which is 5) helps you so you know wither or not the hundred thousands place goes high or stays the same.
So, for this problem 138,202 would round out to 100,000 because the 3 is below 5 so the hundred thousands place stays the same.
