Translating this word problem into an algebraic equation, we get:
3x - 2/5 = 8/5.
Let's combine the constants: adding 2/5 to both sides of this equation yields
3x = 10/5, or 3x = 2.
Solving for x: x = 2/3
4/5 is the slope. When you isolate the y on one side of a linear equation, whatever number is with the x value is your slope.
Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
Y=mx+b, m=slope
in this case -8 is the m
