Question

What is the slope of the line 4x - 8y = 3?

A) -1/2 B) 2 C) 1/2 D) -2

Answer 1

Answer:

given equation of line 4x - 8y = 3

to find slope m

we have to bring the given equation to slope intercept form

4x - 8y = 3

=> - 8y = - 4x + 3

=> 8y = 4x - 3 [ multiply both sides by - 1 ]

=> y = 4/8 x - 3/8

=> y = 1/2 x - 3/8

=> y = m x + c

on comparing, slope m = 1/2
