Question

After y – 4x = 12 is put in slope-intercept form, what is the slope?

-4
1/4
-3
4

Answer 1

Answer: 4

Explanation:

First, you have to arrange the equation in the correct way so that you will be able to get the slope. when -4x is shifted to the other side in order to make y the subject -4x will become +4x, so then it is obvious that the slope is 4! yay!

Answer 2

Slope is 4.

Explanation:

The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b

We have to move the -4x over to create a slope-intercept equation.

∴ y=4x+12

Since m=4, the slope would be 4.
