Given the line:
2y = 4x + 6
Find the slope of the line.
Solution:
In order to find the slope of the line, we must first divide both sides by 2 to get the original value of the given equation.
2y = 4x + 6
2y/2 = (4x + 6)/2
y = 2x + 3
Looking at the formula, it can be categorized to be in slope-intercept form, where 2, is the slope and 3 is the y intercept.
Final answer:
The slope of the line is 2
