Question

What is the slope of the line 3x-9y=4

Answer 1

1/3

Explanation:

Given equation is

3x - 9y = 4

⇒ 3x - 4 = 9y

⇒ y = 3/9 x - 4/9

⇒ y = 1/3 x - 4/9

y = 1/3 x - 4/9 is of the form y = mx + c.

m = slope and c is the y-intercept.

Comparing this, we get m = 1/3 and c = (0,-4/9)

Therefore, the slope m = 1/3
