4x+12y=6
12y=-4x+6
y=-4/12x+6/12
y=-1/3x+1/2
slope=m=-1/3

Solve the equation for in terms of . That is, manipulate the equation so that is by itself with a coefficient of 1 on one side of the equation and everything else is on the other side. The resulting coefficient on will be the slope of the line represented by the equation.
