What is the slope of the line 4x + 6y = 12?
Solution:
Given 4x + 6y = 12
To determine the slope, we need to rewrite the given equation in slope-intercept form y = mx + c
Divide the given equation by 2 on both sides
2x + 3y = 6
3y = -2x + 6
y = (-2/3)x + 6
On comparing with the standard equation, we have m = -2/3
Therefore, the slope of the line is -2/3.
What is the slope of the line 4x + 6y = 12?
Summary:
The slope of the line 4x + 6y = 12 is -2/3.
