Hi,

Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line: y+=+green%28m%29x+%2B+b

  where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.

What is the slope of the graph of 

12x + 3y = –17    |Putting EQ in standard slope-intercept form

   +y+=+green%28-4%29x+-+17%2F4    m = highlight%28-4%29
