The least common multiple, or LCM, is another number that's useful in solving many math problems. Let's find the LCM of 30 and 45. One way to find the least common multiple of two numbers is to first list the prime factors of each number.
30 = 2 × 3 × 5
45 = 3 × 3 × 5
Then multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number. If the same factor occurs more than once in both numbers, you multiply the factor the greatest number of times it occurs.
2: one occurrence
3: two occurrences
5: one occurrence
2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 90 <— LCM
After you've calculated a least common multiple, always check to be sure your answer can be divided evenly by both numbers.
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
In the slope-intercept form of linear equation (y=mx+b) the slope is the number next to the x, here represented with the letter m. In your equation, y =-3x+7, the m is replaced by -3, so the slope here is -3.
