Q. What is the slope of the line?2x+4y=6x−yChoose 1 answer:(A) 45(B) 23(C) 54(D) 32
Question prompt: Question prompt: What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 2x+4y=6x−y?
Rearrange equation into slope-intercept form: Rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope.Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation to move the x-terms to one side.2x+4y−2x=6x−y−2x4y=4x−y
Combine like terms: Combine like terms on the right side of the equation.4y=4x−yAdd y to both sides to get all the y-terms on one side.4y+y=4x−y+y5y=4x
Add y to both sides: Solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by 5.55y=54xy=(54)x
Solve for y: Identify the slope of the line from the equation y=54x. The coefficient of x is the slope of the line, which is 54.
