This equation is written in <em>standard form</em>, so we need to change it into <em>slope-intercept form.</em>
<em />
3x = -y - 5
3x + y = -y + y - 5
3x + y = -5
3x - 3x + y = -5 - 3x
y = -5 - 3x
y = -3x - 5
The slope is classified as "m" in this type of equation, so, the slope is -3.
Best of Luck!

Answer:
26.4% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of change is ...
2500 -1840 = -660
As a percentage of the original price, that is ...
-660/2500 × 100% = -26.4% . . . . . negative change = decrease
The decrease is 26.4%.
Cramer's rule works as follows:
x+3y=16
3x+y=8
Then
x=Dx/D
y=Dy/D
where Dx,Dy,D are 2x2 matrices formed from of coefficients and right hand side.
D=
1 3
3 1
=1-9=-8
Dx=matrix D with first column replaced by the vector [16,8]=
16,3
8 1
=16-24
=-8
Dy=matrix D with second column replaced by the vector [16,8]=
1 16
3 8
=8-48
=-40
Therefore
x=-8/-8=1
y=--40/-8=5
Check:
x+3y=1+3(5)=16
3x+y=3(1)+5=8 ok.
