Question

What is the slope of the line?

4x -1 =3y + 5
Choose 1 answer:
B
413
2/3
32
314

Answer 1

4/3

Explanation:

so in y=mx+b form.

m=slope b=y-int

Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate y on a side.

4x-6=3y

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate y on one side.

(4/3)x-2=y

y=(4/3)x-2

m=4/3

b=-2

So the slope is 4/3

Answer 2

First, change it to match the base equation y = mx + b

3y = 4x - 6
y = 4/3x - 2

In the base equation, m is the slope. The m in this specific line equation would be 4/3

Slope: 4/3
