Question

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

Answer 1

slope = -1/4

Explanation:

x+4y=3

Step 1: Add -x to both sides.

x+4y+−x=3+−x

4y=−x+3

Step 2: Divide both sides by 4.

4y/4 = -x + 3 / 4

y = -1/4x + 3/4

m = -1/4

Answer 2

• Slope = -1/4

Explanation:

Let's re-organize the equation into slope intercept form.

• x + 4y = 3
• => 4y = 3 - x
• => y = -x/4 + 3/4

Now, let's compare the equation with its formula.

• => (y = mx + b) = (y = -x/4 + 3/4)

Hence, the slope is -1/4.
