Question

Find the slope of the line whose equation is 8y = 4 - 3x.

Answer 1

the slope is 3
whatever is in front of the x is the slope

Answer 2

Answer:
`(-3)/(8)`

Explanation:

The general equation of a line in intercept form is given by :-

`y=mx+c`, where m is the slope of line and c represents the y-intercept of the line.

The given equation :
`8y = 4 - 3x`

Divide 8 on both the sides , we get

`y = (1)/(2) -(3)/(8)x\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-(3)/(8)x+ (1)/(2)`

We can see that, the slope of the line :
`m=(-3)/(8)`
