You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you solve for y, you'll automatically put the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) from which you can read the slope...let me show you...
\n" ); document.write( "From 4x + 6y = 24, subtract 4x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "6y = -4x + 24
\n" ); document.write( "Then divide both sides by six and reduce where possible
\n" ); document.write( "y = -4/6 x + 24/6
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2/3 x + 4
\n" ); document.write( "Hence the slope is -2/3.
\n" ); document.write( "
