Equation of a Line

The slope-intercept form of a line is:

y = mx + b

Where m is the slope.

We are given the equation of a line:

24x - 2y = 38

Subtracting 24x:

-2y = -24x + 38

Dividing by -2:

y = (-24/-2)x + 38/(-2)

Operating:

y = 12x - 19

We can see that b = 12, thus the slope of the graph is 12

Answer:

D. 12
