Find the slope of each line

Question

Find the slope of each line.

 

1/3y=x-4/3

Answer 1

To find the slope, solve this equation for y, which is also writing the equation in slope-intercept form:

 

1/3y = x - 4/3 

 

Multiply both sides by 3 to isolate y on the left:

 

y = 3x - 4

 

The slope is m = 3.
