y=mx+b m = slope b = y-intercept slope = (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) slope = (2--6)/(3--2) slope = 8/5 2=(8/5)3+b 2=24/5+b 5/12=b y=8/5x+5/12
6x+8y = 12 8y = -6x+12 Divide all terms by 8:- y = -0.75x+1.5 which is now in slope intercept form
-12
It is most often expressed as a ratio of inches of rise per 12 inches of run. A roof slope that rises 4 inches for every 12 inches of run is a "4 in 12" slope, or 4/12 slope, or 4:12 slope.
Slope = coefficient of x = 8
