Question 134369: I am very confused on how to find the slope. My problem is below. I have completed it all except for the slope. I think I am getting confused by the fraction?
a) Solve for y
Answer:y=-3/4x+2
Show your work here:3x-3+4y=8 8/4=2+(-3/4x)
b) When graphed this equation would be a line. By examining your answer to part a, what is the slope and y-intercept of this line?
Slope = ______
Y-intercept = _(0,2)____
Answer by stanbon(75887)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a) Solve for y
Answer:y=(-3/4)x+2
-----
The slope is -3/4 which means "when x increases one, y decreases 3/4".

Show your work here:3x-3+4y=8 8/4=2+(-3/4x)
b) When graphed this equation would be a line. By examining your answer to part a, what is the slope and y-intercept of this line?
Slope = -3/4
Y-intercept = _(0,2)____
====================================
Comment: Your equation is in the form y = mx +b
m is the slope; b is the y-intercept.
