First, you have to do some factorization

60 = {1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60}
72 = {1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,18,24,36,72}

the GCF is 12

now we find the number that you multiply by 12 to get 60 and another number to get 72.

12 x 5 = 60
12 x 6 = 72

now we notice if you add 60 + 72, we can now tell that it also equals (12)(5)+(12)(6)= 12(5+6)

What is the slope of the line with the following equation?<br><br> <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2x%2B3y%3D2" id="TexFormula

QUESTION

Your equation is 2x+3y=2 and you need to find the slope.

EXPLANATION

There are many ways to find the slope with an equation like this. I'm going to change the equation into slope-intercept form.

Slope-intercept form is formatted like this:

y=mx+b

m represents the slope. The first thing you need to do is leave 3y alone to change the equation into slope-intercept form. That means you need to subtract 2x from both sides.

$2x+3y=2 \rightarrow 3y=2-2x\ or\ 3y=-2x-2$

The next thing you need to do is leave y alone, just like the slope-intercept form example. To leave y alone, you need to divide 3y by 3.

$\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{-2x-2}{3} \\ \\ y=-\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{2}{3}$

Now the equation has been changed to slope-intercept form. In the equation, m has been replaced by $-\frac{2}{3}$ , which means that is your answer.

Answer: $-\frac{2}{3}$
