Answer:

x= 3 4(y+12)

Explanation:

Slope = 1.500/2.000 = 0.750

x-intercept = 48/3 = 16

y-intercept = 48/-4 = 12/-1 = -12.00000

Answer:


\sf Slope(m)= -(3)/(4) \textsf{ or } 0.75

Explanation:

In order to find the slope, we can rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form, which is:


\sf y = mx + b

where m is a slope.

In this case, we can rewrite the equation as follows:


\sf 3x + 4y = 48

Subtract both side by 3x.


\sf 4y= 48 -3x


\sf 4y=-3x +48

Divide both sides by 4.


\sf (4y)/(y)=(-3x)/(4)+ (48)/(4)


\sf y = -(3)/(4) + 12

While comparing:

The slope of the equation:


\sf Slope(m)= -(3)/(4) \textsf{ or } 0.75
