Question

Find the slope of the line whose equation is 7x - 2y = 4. 7/2 -2 4/7

Answer 1

To find the slope, we must put the equation in y = mx + b form, and m represents ur slope.

7x - 2y = 4....subtract 7x from both sides
-2y = -7x + 4 ...now divide both sides by -2
y = (-7/-2)x + (4/-2)
y = 7/2x - 2....now we have it in y = mx + b form, and since m is ur slope, ur slope in this equation is 7/2.
