Explanation
Choice D is correct. A linear equation can be written in the form , where is the slope of the graph of the equation in the xy-plane and is the y-intercept. Subtracting from each side of the given equation, , yields . Dividing each side of this equation by yields . This equation is in the form , where . Therefore, the slope of the graph of the given equation in the xy-plane is .
Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
