Find the Slope 3x-4y=3

$3 x - 4 y = 3$

Step 1

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Subtract $3 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 4 y = 3 - 3 x$

Divide each term in $- 4 y = 3 - 3 x$ by $- 4$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 4 y = 3 - 3 x$ by $- 4$ .

$\frac{- 4 y}{- 4} = \frac{3}{- 4} + \frac{- 3 x}{- 4}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 4 y}{- 4} = \frac{3}{- 4} + \frac{- 3 x}{- 4}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{3}{- 4} + \frac{- 3 x}{- 4}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = - \frac{3}{4} + \frac{- 3 x}{- 4}$

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$y = - \frac{3}{4} + \frac{3 x}{4}$

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Reorder $- \frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{3 x}{4}$ .

$y = \frac{3 x}{4} - \frac{3}{4}$

Reorder terms.

$y = \frac{3}{4} x - \frac{3}{4}$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $\frac{3}{4}$ .

$m = \frac{3}{4}$
