Remember Slope-Intercept Form,system%28y=mx%2Bb%29, where m=Slope

Given: %281%2F4%29%28x%29%2B6y=12

Arranging terms:
6y=-%281%2F4%29x%2B12
cross%286%29y%2Fcross%286%29=%28%28-1%2F4%29x%2B12%29%2F6
y=%28-1%2F4%29x%2F6%2B12%2F6
red%28y=red%28%28-1%2F24%29%29x%2B2%29, Slope+=+m+=%28-1%2F24%29

*Remember Slope?, Rise (up or down) on the y-axis over Run (left or right) on the x-axis.

To verify the eqn, see graph:
---> see points (24,1), (48,0)), & (72,-1) from Y-Intercept (b), (0,2)
