Question 57774: Find the slope. can someone help me. thanks
A line parallel to the graph of 4X-y=0
Found 2 solutions by oberobic, funmath:
Answer by oberobic(2304)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The general formula is y = mx + b.
Your given equation is 4x - y = 0.
Adding y to both side of the equation yields: 4x = y, which is the same as saying y = 4x.
In the general formula, the coefficient m is the slope.
So in this problem, the slope is the coefficient of x, which is 4.
Note that in the general formula, "b" is simply a constant that is the same as the y-axis intercept (or y-intercept). In this case, it is zero.

A line parallel to the graph of 4X-y=0
Parallel lines have the same slopes, m.
Put the line they gave you into slope intercept form:  , where m=slope, and (0,b)=y-intercept
4x-y=0
-4x+4x-y=0-4x
-y=-4x
-(-y)=-(-4x)
y=4x
A line parallel to this line would have the same slope,  ,
m=4
Happy Calculating!!!
