What is the slope of #x-3y=-12#?

Answer 1

Kennedy Adams

The slope, #m = 1/3#

Write the equation of a straight line in slope-intercept form,

#y = mx +c#

Then you can read off the slope and the y-intercept immediately.

#x+12 = 3y " "rArr 3y = x+12#

#y = 1/3x +4" rather use" 1/3x " than " x/3#

The slope, #m = 1/3, and c = 4#

Eva Abramson

To find the slope, rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope.

x - 3y = -12 -3y = -x - 12 y = (1/3)x + 4

The slope is 1/3.

Jace Anderson

To find the slope of the line represented by the equation (x - 3y = -12), rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where (m) is the slope.

Start by isolating (y) on one side:

(x - 3y = -12)
(3y = x + 12)
(y = \frac{1}{3}x + 4)

The slope of the line is (m = \frac{1}{3}).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
