Question 727198: Hi I need to find the slopes of each two lines given 12x+3y+7=0 and -8x-2y-30=0. Please help with direction on which method i should be using? Do i with identifying the change in x/the change in y to find the gradient??? Your help would be greatly appreciated.thanks again

find the slopes of each two lines given 12x+3y+7=0 and -8x-2y-30=0.
------------
12x+3y+7=0
solve for y
y = -4x - 7/3
The slope is the coefficient of x, = -4
------------
That's all it takes.
