Choice A is the correct answer. Isolate $y$ to find the slope.

1. Equation: $2y = 8x - 6$
2. Divide by 2: Divide every term by 2 to get $y$ by itself. $\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{8x}{2} - \frac{6}{2}$
3. Simplify: $y = 4x - 3$
4. Identify Slope: The coefficient of $x$ is 4.

💡 Strategic Tip: You cannot read the slope directly until the equation is in $y = ...$ form.

Choice B is incorrect because it takes the coefficient of $x$ before isolating $y$. Choice C is incorrect because it is the coefficient of $y$. Choice D is incorrect because it is the y-intercept.
