Answer:

The slope of Helaine's line is 3

Explanations:

Note that:

The slope - Intercept form of the equation of a line is:

y = mx + c

Where m = the slope

c = the intercept

The given equation is:

12x - 4y = 3

Rewrite the above equation in the form y = mx + c

4y = 12x - 3

Divide through by 4


\begin{gathered} (4y)/(4)=(12x)/(4)-(3)/(4) \\ \\ y\text{ = 3x - }(3)/(4) \end{gathered}

The slope, m = 3

The intercept, c = -3/4

Therefore, the slope of Helaines line is 3
