Success!
Slope = 2
↓Steps Explained:↓
What is the slope (gradient) of
8x-4y=12
Get Eq. 1 into y = mx + b format:
8x - 4y = 12
-4y = -8x + 12
Divide each side by -4
| -4y |
| -4 |
| = |
| -8x + 12 |
| -4 |
Simplifying, we have:
y = 2x - 3
Final Answer
Slope = 2Calculate the y intercept of our line
The y intercept is found by
Setting x = 0 in
y=2(0)-3
y-intercept = 0-3
y-intercept = -3
