If you mean: 3x+4y = 12 then y = -3/4x+3 whereas -3/4 or -0.75 is the slope and 3 is the y intercept

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line represented by the equation 3x plus 4y equals 12?
4/3 First, get this into slope-intercept form (get y by itself). 3x+4y=12 -> Move 3x to the right by subtracting from both sides. -3x -3x 4y=12-3x -> get y alone by dividing everything by 4. 4y=-3x+12 ÷4 ÷4 ÷4 y=(-3/4)x+3 -> The slope is -3/4. To get the perpendicular line's slope you take the slope (-3/4) and flip it and switch the sign: negative becomes positive, 3/4 becomes 4/3.
Find the slope of a line parallel to 3x plus 5y equals 15?
Get in slope intercept form. 3X + 5Y = 15 5Y = -3X + 15 Y = -3/5X + 3 -3/5 is the slope of this line and the line parallel to this line
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to line whose equation is y 5 3x plus 8 3?
x - 4y = 3 is the slope of a line perpendicular to line whose equation is y -5 3x plus 8 3.
What is the slope of the line given by the equation y -3x?
If you mean: y = -3x then the slope of the line is -3
What is the answer to y equals 3x plus 3 and y equals 4x plus 5?
y=3x+3 -- This could be the formula for a line, where the slope is 3 and the y intercept is (0,3). In the next line the slope would be 4 and the y-intercept would be 5
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3x plus 4y equals 12?
4y= -3x + 12 y = -3/4x + 3 The perpendicular slope is 4/3
What is the slope of a line that is parallel to the line represented by the equation 3x plus 4y equals 12?
q2
What is the slope of 3x plus 3y equals 12?
The slope is -1. 3x+3y=12 Subtract 3x 3y=-3x+12 Divide by 3 y=-x+4
How do you get the slope of a line that is defined by the equation 3x plus y equals negative 4?
If: 3x+y = -4 Then: y = -3x-4 and the slope of the line is -3
What is -3x plus y equals 12?
Point slope equation: Y=3X+12
What is the slope of this line 3x plus y4?
-3/4 if the question is 3x+4y
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line represented by the equation 3x plus 4y equals 12?
4/3 First, get this into slope-intercept form (get y by itself). 3x+4y=12 -> Move 3x to the right by subtracting from both sides. -3x -3x 4y=12-3x -> get y alone by dividing everything by 4. 4y=-3x+12 ÷4 ÷4 ÷4 y=(-3/4)x+3 -> The slope is -3/4. To get the perpendicular line's slope you take the slope (-3/4) and flip it and switch the sign: negative becomes positive, 3/4 becomes 4/3.
What is the slope of the line 12x plus 4y 24?
standard form is y = mx + b where m = slope 12 x+ 4y = 24 3x + y = 6 y = -3x + 6 slope is -3
What is the slope of the line that is parallel to line represented by the equation 3x plus 4y equals 12?
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y intercept You need to get equation in slope-intercept form: 3x + 4y = 12 4y = 12 - 3x y = 3 - 3/4 x y = -3/4 x + 3 That means m = slope = -3/4 Parallel lines have the same slope, so the other line also has a slope of -3/4
Find the slope of a line perpendicular to 3x plus 5y equals 15?
3X + 5Y = 155Y = -3X + 15Y = (-3/5)X + 3The slope of this line is -3/5.The slope of a line perpendicular to it is 5/3.
What is the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 3x plus y equals 4?
3x+y = 4 y = -3x+4 Perpendicular slope: 1/3
Find the slope of a line parallel to 3x plus 5y equals 15?
Get in slope intercept form. 3X + 5Y = 15 5Y = -3X + 15 Y = -3/5X + 3 -3/5 is the slope of this line and the line parallel to this line
