Question

How do you complete this task?

Answer 1

Answer:

$-\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y + 18 = 0

Equating it with.

ax + by + c = 0, we find:

a = 3, b = 2, c = 18

Slope of the line $=- \frac{a}{b} =-\frac{3}{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx +b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

we just need to rewrite 3x+2y+18=0 to look like that

We need to get y by itself

3x+18= -2y

we need y to be positive and to have no number in front of it (no coeficcent)

y= -3/2x-9

the slope is therefore -3/2
