Q1 of 112 Page 166

Find the slope of the straight line

4x = 5y + 3.

Here we have the straight line : 4x = 5y + 3


The slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.


Therefore, 4x = 5y + 3


–5y – 3 = –4x (Commutative law)


5y + 3 = 4x (multiply by – on both sides of the equation)


(Divide both sides of the equation by 5)




Now we will rewrite it in the slope intercept form



Hence according to the slope intercept form, y = mx + b


m i.e. slope is .
