Helaine graphed the equation 12x - 4y = 3. What was the slope of Helaine's line?
The slope of the graph is

Respuesta :

Answer:

The slope of this line is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve 12x - 4y = 3 for y to obtain the equation in slope-intercept form:

Add 4y to both sides, obtaining 12x = 3 + 4y

Subtract 3 from both sides:  12x - 3 = 4y

Finally, divide all terms by 4:  y = 3x - 3/4

The slope of this line is 3.

Answer:  The slope of the graph is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope intercept for is given by :-

[tex]y=mx+c[/tex], where m is the slope of the line.

The given equation of  the line graphed by Helaine = [tex]12x - 4y = 3[/tex]

Now, rewrite the above equation in slope-intercept form by adding 4y  and  subtracting 3 from both sides , we get

[tex]4y=12x-3[/tex]

Divide 4 on both sides , we get

[tex]y=3x-\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex] which is the slope-intercept form.

[tex]\Rightarrow\text{Slope}=3[/tex]

Hence, the slope of Helaine's line =3
