Question

What is the value of in the equation ax+4y=6

Answer 1

Hope this helps :)

Explanation:

Method-1 Using Differentiation

ax-4y=—6

Differentiating it wrt x

a-4(dy/dx)=0

(dy/dx)=(a/4)

(dy/dx) is the slope of the equation so

dy/dx=(—3/2)=(a/4)

Therefore a=—6

Method—2 Using general Equation of the curve

ax-4y=—6

4y=ax+6

y=(a/4)+(6/4)

It is of the form y=mx+c

So m=a/4=(—3)2)

Therefore a=—6
