What is the slope of 4x-3y=12?

  1. 4

  2. 3

  3. -3

  4. -4

The correct answer is: -4

In this equation, the slope is represented by the coefficient of the x variable, which is 4. The coefficient of the y variable, -3, is the inverse of the slope. While the other options may seem like potential answers, they do not accurately represent the slope of the given equation. Option A, 4, is the slope of the inverse equation, while option B and C, 3 and -3 respectively, represent the coefficient of the y variable rather than the slope itself. Therefore, option D, -4, is the correct answer.
