Question

What is the slope of the line x+3y=10 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

- 1/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

y = mx + b     Slope Intercept Form

Step 2:

x + 3y = 10        Equation

Step 3:

3y = 10 - x     Subtract x on both sides

Step 4:

y = 10/3 - 3/x      Divide 3 on both sides

Step 5:

y = 10/3 - 1/3x     Simplify

Answer:

Slope = - 1/3x

Answer 2

Answer:

m = -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

Step 1: Write equation

x + 3y = 10

Step 2: Convert to slope-intercept form

3y = 10 - x

y = 10/3 - x/3

We see that our slope would be the term -1/3x. Since m is the coefficient of x and our slope, our slope m = -1/3
