What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 6x - 3y = 4

A. 2

B. 1/2

C. - 1/2

D. - 2

A. 2 is a just rewrite the problem

Answer: A. 2

The first thing you want to do is isolate the y, meaning you have to rewrite the equation so that the y is on the left side by itself. The process is as follows.

6x - 3y = 4 Original equation

-3y = - 6x + 4 Subtract the 6x from both sides

y = 2x - (4/3) Divide the entire equation by - 3

y = 2x - (4/3) is the rewritten equation. According to the equation of a line, y = mx + b, the m is the slope. In this line, m = 2, thus the slope of the line is 2.
