5. Find the slope of the graph of the following, show your work to prove your answer
: 16x – 4y = 12
To find the slope of the graph of the equation 16x - 4y = 12, we need to rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is the slope.
First, subtract 16x from both sides:
-4y = -16x + 12
Next, divide by -4 to solve for y:
y = 4x - 3
Now, the equation is in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope. Therefore, the slope of the graph is 4.
