Question

Given the line -9x-6y=18. Find the slope

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{3}{2}$

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 - 9x - 6y = 18 into this form

Add 9x to both sides

- 6y = 9x + 18 ( divide all terms by - 6 )

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

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