In order to find the slope, you need to get y by itself.
Follow the equation: y = mx + b
m = slope
-48 = 2x - 8y
Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation.
-2x - 48 = (2x - 2x) - 8y
(I find it easier to have y first in the equation, but either way is fine.)
-8y = -2x - 48
Divide every number by -8.
-8y/-8 = (-2x/-8) + (-48/-8)
y = 1/4x + 6
y = mx + b
m = 1/4
y = 0That's the equation of the x-axis.Its slope is zero.
Get the slope of the given line, by putting it into slope-intercept form. Then you can divide minus one by this slope, to get the slope of any perpendicular line.
x - 4y = 3 is the slope of a line perpendicular to line whose equation is y -5 3x plus 8 3.

y = 0That's the equation of the x-axis.Its slope is zero.
The slope is 5. Parallel lines always have the same slope.
Get the slope of the given line, by putting it into slope-intercept form. Then you can divide minus one by this slope, to get the slope of any perpendicular line.
x - 4y = 3 is the slope of a line perpendicular to line whose equation is y -5 3x plus 8 3.
1) Solve the given equation for "y". The resulting equation will be in slope-intercept form, so you can immediately read off its slope. 2) Any line parallel to that line will have the same slope.
the slope will be positive 1.5x the whole equation is y=4.5+1.5x
x = -3 represents a vertical line whose slope is undefined.

0.25
The slope would be 3/4
1, it will have the same slope but the y intercept will be different.
