Question

What is the slope of the line 4y = 8x+ 3 ?

Answer 1

`2`

Explanation:

`4y=8x+3`

To identify the slope of the line, the equation must be in the format
`y=mx+b`, in which
`m` is representative of slope.

Begin by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient of
`y`, which is
`4`:

`y=2x+(3)/(4)`

`m=2`

Therefore, the slope of the line is 2.

You can check your work by graphing, and identifying the "rise over run", of the graph. This can be done by counting the distance from one point your graph to another.
