Determine the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 6(0.5x - 4)

A. 6
B. 0.5
C. -4
D. 3

D.3

Y = 3x -24

y=mx+b where m is the slope.
In the above equation, 3 is in the m position.

When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. if you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.
