Question

Determine the slope of the linear equation.
3x + 4y=1

Answer 1

3x + 4y=1

y= mx+b ( slope-intercept )

Move 3x to the other side

Sign changes from +3x to -3x

3x-3x+4y= -3x+1

4y= -3x+1

divide both sides by 4

4y/4= y

-3/4x+1/4

y= -3/4x+1/4

y=mx + b

slope is also m

b is the y-intercept

Answer: slope= -3/4

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{-(3)/(4)}`

This line is in standard form, or
`ax+by=c`. To find the slope of a line in standard form, simply find
`-(a)/(b)`.

Substitute in the values.
`\boxed{-(3)/(4)}`
