Question

In the standard (x,y) coordinate plane, what is the slope of the line 4x+7y=9?​

Answer 1

Answer: -4/7

Explanation:

To find the slope, let's change the equation to slope-intercept form.

`4x+7y=9` [subtract both sides by 4x]

`7y=-4x+9` [divide both sides by 7]

`y=-(4)/(7)x+(9)/(7)`

Now, we know the slope is -4/7.
