Question

Determine the slope, the y-intercept and the
x-intercept of the line 4x - 3y - 42 = 0.

Answer 1

Answer: 3/4

Explanation:

First we need to get the formula into slop form (Y = Mx + B) by moving Y to the other side. This can be done by adding 3y to both sides.

4x - 42 = 3y

or

3y = 4x - 42

Now that we have the formula, we need to divide everything by 3 in order to get 1y.

y = 3/4x - 14

In this formula, M is the slope, meaning your final answer is

3/4
