Question

A line has the equation 3x–4y–12=0 what is the slope of this line

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of this line is 3/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving this equation 3x–4y–12=0 for y puts the equation into the form

                                            y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line.

One way of solving for 4y here is to add 4y to both sides, obtaining:

                                           3x - 12 = 4y

Dividing all three terms by 4 yields

                                              y = (3/4)x - 3

The slope of this line is 3/4.
