Find the slope of the line whose equation is 4x - 6y = 8.

a. 2/3

b. - 2/3 3/2

To find the y-intercept, you have to let X = 0 ...

Therefore you get 4 (0) - 6y=12

-6y=12

y = - 2

To get the slope, you have to rearrange the equation into y = mx + c form.

Therefore. - 6y = - 4x + 12

You need a single y, so divide through by - 6.

y = - 4x/-6 + 12/-6

Your slope is the number in front of the x variable. I. e - 4/-6

Simplify it to, 2/3.
