Question

What is the slope of the following equation of a line? 2x + 3y = 12

Answer 1

Answer:

m = -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3y = 12

-2x. -2x

3y = -2x + 12

÷3. ÷3. ÷3

y = -2/3x + 4

m = -2/3

Answer 2

There’s an easy rule for this form !
if you ever see this form : ax+by=c
and it asks about the slope, then you can use this rule : slope= -a/b

and if it asks about the y-intercept, you can use this rule : y-intercept= c/b

so to get the slope of your question, all you have to do is : slope = -2/3

I hope this helped !
