The slope of this equation can be solved by the slope-intercept form; y = mx + b. where m is the slope

Explanation:

Given Equation: 4x + 3y = 24

Reaarange the equation to follow the slope-intercept form
y = mx + b

Isolate y and simplify:

4x + 3y = 24
3y = - 4x + 24
y = #(-4x + 24)/3#
y = #-(4x)/3# + 8, this follows the slope- intercept form where
m is equal to #-(4)/3#
