Question

What is the slope of the line represented by 3x+4y=8?

Answer 1

m = -3/4

Explanation:

To find the slope, rewrite this equation in the form y = mx + b:

4y + 3x = 8,

or

4y = 8 - 3x,

or

y = 2 -(3/4)x

Match this up with:

y = mx + b

Thus, m = -3/4

Answer 2

-3/4

Explanation:

Write in y = mx + b form

4y = -3x + 8

y = -3/4x + 2

Find the m value.

m = -3/4
