Question

What’s the slope 3y=15-6x

Answer 1

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Divide 3 from both sides:

(3y)/3 = (15 - 6x)/3

y = (15 - 6x)/3

y = 5 - 2x

Note the equation:

y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

x & y = the point (x , y)

Note that the slope is directly next to x. -2 is your answer.

Answer 2

For this case we have by definition, that the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cutoff point with the y axis

We have the following equation:

$3y = 15-6x\\y = \frac {15} {3} - \frac {6x} {3}\\y = 5-2x\\y = -2x + 5$

So we have to:

$m = -2$

Answer:

The slope is -2
