Question

Find the slope of the line described by the equation. 4y = 152 − 19x

Answer 1

Answer: - 19/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope , all we need to do is to write the equation in the form y = mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept.

That means we need to make y the subject of the formula in the equation.

4y = 152 - 19x

Divide through by 4

y = 152/4 - 19x/4

y = 38 - 19x/4

Therefore the slope is -19/4

Answer 2

Answer:

-4.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for y by dividing by 4:

$y = 38 - 4.75x$

Differentiate with respect to x (use power rule):

$\frac{dy}{dx} = - 4.75$
