Question 57774
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.
