Algebra.Com's Answer #226564 by JenniferTutors(83)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! To find the slope of each line, you will need to change each equation into slope intercept form: y = mx + b \n" ); document.write( "m = slope, b = y-intercept\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For the example you provided: 15 + 3y = 4x\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First, you would get 3y by itself by subtracting the 15 from the left and right side of the equation.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, you want to get 'y' completely by itself by dividing 3 into itself and each term on the right side of the equation.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, you found the value of m, slope, which equals (4/3) \n" ); document.write( " |
