Answer:

slope = - \frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 2x + 3y = 2 into this form

Subtract 2x from both sides

3y = - 2x + 2 ( divide all terms by 3 )

y = - \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{2}{3} ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - \frac{2}{3}

QUESTION

Your equation is 2x+3y=2 and you need to find the slope.

EXPLANATION

There are many ways to find the slope with an equation like this. I'm going to change the equation into slope-intercept form.

Slope-intercept form is formatted like this:

y=mx+b

m represents the slope. The first thing you need to do is leave 3y alone to change the equation into slope-intercept form. That means you need to subtract 2x from both sides.

2x+3y=2 \rightarrow 3y=2-2x\ or\ 3y=-2x-2

The next thing you need to do is leave y alone, just like the slope-intercept form example. To leave y alone, you need to divide 3y by 3.

\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{-2x-2}{3} \\ \\ y=-\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{2}{3}

Now the equation has been changed to slope-intercept form. In the equation, m has been replaced by -\frac{2}{3}, which means that is your answer.

Answer: -\frac{2}{3}

Find the sale price to the nearest cent<br> $53 pair of jeans with a 20% discount
Artist 52 [7]

Answer: It is $42.4

Step-by-step explanation: Multiply (0.20)(53), you get 10.6, now that's the price that is discounted, so subtract that from the total, to get $42.4. If you want to check your answer, do 42.4/53 and you would get 0.80, or 80%. That is what you should get since you have a 20% discount from 100% of a product.
