What is the slope of 6x + 3y =15?
2 answers:
Answer:
<h2>The answer is - 2</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a line is y = mx + c
where
m is the slope
c is the y intercept
To find the slope we must first write the equation in the general equation above
That's
6x + 3y = 15
<u>Make y the subject</u>
Send 6x to the other side of the equation
3y = - 6x + 15
<u>Divide both sides by 3</u>
We have
y = - 2x + 5
Comparing with the general equation above
Slope / m = - 2

Answer:
y = -4x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b ( slope-intercept)
1. Find Slope:
Lets name 2 as y2 and 10 as y1. And 0 as x2 and 2 as x1.
=
= -4
m/slope = -4
2. Find y-intercept:
2 = -4(0) + b
= 2 = b
Y-intercept/b = 2
3. Put into slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b
= y = -4x + 2
Hope that helps! :D
