Answer to Problem 38RE
Thus the slope of the line is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
Equation of the line slope-intercept form:
We first write the equation of the given line in slope-intercept form to find its slope.
Thus the slope of the line is
The
To obtain second point on the graph, let
Thus the second point on the graph is (4,0)
We plot the points (0,3) and (4,0) on the Cartesian plane and draw a line though the points.
Conclusion:
Thus the slope of the line is
