Question

Let's Check In

Identify the slope of the following equation.
1
4x+y=3
A. 72 = -2
B. m = 4
C = -8
D = 10

Answer 1

slope (m) = -4

Explanation:

Equation: 4x + y = 3

need to get into to y = mx + b form

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

4x + y = 3 subtract 4x from both sides

4x - 4x + y = 3 - 4x

y = -4x - 3

m = -4

A. 72 = -2 not true expression

B. m = 4 positive 4 not negative

C = -8 ?????

D = 10 ?????

none of the choices are right
