that must be completed sequentially. If you skip a part of the question, you will not receive any points for the skipped part, and yo Given the equation 4x+3y 6, answer the following question. Exercise (a) Is the slope of the line described by this equation negative or positive? Part 1 of We are given the equation 4x+3y 6. To determine whether the slope is positive or negative, we solve the equation for y to put the equation into the form y mx + b, where 'm represents the slope of the line. We start with isolating the term containing y on one side, ÐУ x+ 6, and then we divide both sides by the coefficilent of y Since this equation is in the form y-mx+b with m representing the slope, we can conclude that the slope of the line is Select. As x increases, does y increase or decrease? Part 1 of 1 To answer this, we use the fact that slope is "rise over run, which means that if the slope is and y increase (or decrease) together. If the slope is negative, then an increase in x produces a decrease in y. and vice versa. positive, both x As found earler, the slope is m--4 and it is negative. We can therefore conclude that an in y
