Question: Find the slope of the line parallel to -3x + 12y = 18.


A ) 1 / 4
B ) 2
C ) 1 / 6
D ) None of the above

Steps to derive

1 Two lines are said to be parallel if they have same slope and different y-intercepts.

2 The slope intercept form of the equation -3x + 12y = 18 is y = 1 / 4x + 3 / 2.

3 The slope of the equation -3x + 12y = 18 is 1 / 4.

4 So, the slope of the line parallel to -3x + 12y = 18 is 1 / 4.



Hence the right answer is Option A
