Question

What is the slope of the following 12x - 6y = 30

Answer 1

`slope = m = 2`

Answer 2

2

Explanation:

The slope intercept form is

y = mx+b where m is the slope

Solve for y

12x - 6y = 30

Subtract 12x from each side

-6y =-12x+30

Divide by -6

y = -12x/-6 +30/-6

y = 2x -5

The slope is 2
