3x-4y=1 I have to find the slope of the line and show it in simplest form. 
Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

3x - 4y = 1

- 4y = - 3x + 1 ----- Subtracting 3x

y+=+%283%2F4%29x+%2B+1%2F%28-+4%29 ------ Dividing by - 4

           y+=+%283%2F4%29x+-+1%2F4

Compare to: y = mx + b

You should see that: highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C5%2C+m%2C+or%2C+slope%2C+%22=%22%2C+3%2F4%29%29
