Question 8570
First convert from standard form Ax+By=C into slope intercept form by solving for y.


12x + 4y = 8  Subtract 12x from each side of the equation.
4y = -12x + 8


Next, divide both sides by 4:
{{{ (4y)/4 = (-12x)/4 + 8/4}}}
{{{y = -3x + 2}}}


When the equation is in slope-intercept form, the slope is the coefficient of x, which is this case is -3.
