Question

Find the slope of the equation. 3x = -y − 5

Answer 1

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the equation is the gradient of the equation.

y=mx+c

where m represents the gradient (slope)

here, the value that is written with x is 3, but that isn't your gradient. the equation is not arranged in the correct order. you may rearrange it into the same form as y=mx+c.

so, it becomes

3x+y=-5

y=-3x-5

now, compare both the equations. you can deciper that m=-3. that's what you're looking for!

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope of the equation is -3x

Step-by-step explanation:

3x = -y − 5

+ 5       + 5          Add 5 to both sides

3x + 5 = -y    Divide both sides by -1

-3x + 5 = y

The slope of the equation is -3x
