Question

Find the slope of the line 4x - By = C.

Answer 1

general equation of a line is given by:

y=mx+b, where m is the slope of the line.

So, having this equation we need to isolate y to find the slope:

$\begin{gathered} Ax-By=C \\ By=Ax-C \\ y=\frac{A}{B}x-\frac{C}{B} \end{gathered}$

That would be the slope-intercept form of a line, that means A/B is the slope of the given line.
