Question

What is the slope of the line represented by this equation?

-3x + 8y = 12

A -8/3
B -3/8
C 3/8
D 8/3

Answer 1

C. 3/8

Explanation:

`- 3x + 8y = 12 \\ \therefore 8y =3x + 12 \\ \therefore \: y = (3)/(8) x + 12 \\ equating \: it \: with \\ y = mx + b \: we \: find: \\ m = (3)/(8) \\ \therefore \: slope = (3)/(8)`
