Keep your foot on the brake as you give it the gas--the car will roll back only a few inches--no big deal--you will get better as you get experience. good luck

On an automatic transmission vehicle hold the brake with your left foot and shift in Drive. Step on the accelerator (about 1/3 of the pedal move) and smoothly release the brake. It's better to practice this on a desolate slope until you get the knack of it, instead of waiting for a stoplight with all the others cars honking behind you. When you have mastered pulling off on a slope the car will not rollback at all.

Hold the car using the foot brake with your right foot. Just anticipate the traffic lights changing or the car in front moving & move your right foot quickly to the accel pedal & gently squeeze. It does take a little bit of skill but youll get used to it. Dont worry about the car rolling back 10-20 mm. Good luck!

use your left foot on the brake and right foot on the gas pedal. release your left foot when u step on the gas pedal with your right foot. thats what i do when i start on a very steep hill


yep
I've been told it's possible, but very difficult.
