Q. Find the slope of the line y+6=61(x+12). Write your answer as an integer or as a simplified proper or improper fraction.
Identify form of equation: Identify the form of the equation.The equation y+6=61(x+12) is in the point-slope form, which is y−y1=m(x−x1), where m is the slope of the line.
Compare with point-slope form: Compare the given equation with the point-slope form. The given equation y+6=61(x+12) can be compared to the point-slope form y−y1=m(x−x1) to identify the slope.
Identify the slope: Identify the slope.By comparing the given equation with the point-slope form, we can see that the slope m is the coefficient of (x+12), which is 61.
