Find the slope of the line whose equation is
4y - 3x + 6 = 0

First, get the equation into slope-intercept form, which is

y=mx+b.

Here's the math:

Subtract

6 from both sides


4y - 3x = -6

Add
3x to both sides


4y = 3x -6

Divide both sides by
4


y = (3)/(4)x - (6)/(4)

Simplify


y = (3)/(4)x - (3)/(2)

The
m in the equation is the slope, and
m= (3)/(4).

So, the answer is: C. 3/4. Hope this helps!

The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b so this what you do.
4y - 3x + 6 = 0
Add 3x and subtract 6 to both sides.
4y = 3x - 6
Divide the right side by 4.
y = 3/4x - 3/2
So the slope is 3/4.
I hope this helps love! :)
