Given the equation:
[tex]-4y=12+2x[/tex]To find the slope of the equation, solve the equation for (y)
It is required to make the equation like the slope-intercept form
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]So, for the given equation, divide all terms by (-4)
So,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{-4y}{-4}=\frac{12}{-4}+\frac{2x}{-4} \\ \\ y=-3-\frac{1}{2}x \\ \\ y=-\frac{1}{2}x-3 \end{gathered}[/tex]compare the last result with the slope-intercept form
So, the slope = m = -1/2
So, the answer will be:
[tex]\text{slope}=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
