What is the slope of the line whose equation is 2x+3y = -12?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

2x + 3y = - 12 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

3y = - 2x - 12 ( divide all terms by 3 )

y = - $\frac{2}{3}$ x - 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{20 {m}^{2} {n}^{3} - 10 {m}^{2}n }{5mn} \\ = \frac{5mn(4m {n}^{2} - 2m) }{5mn} \\ = 4 {m}^{2} n - 2m \\ = 2m(2mn - 1)$

X intercept: (-4,0)
y intercept: (0,1/2)

x-intercept is when y = 0
-x+8(0)=4
-x+0=4
x=-4

y-intercept is when x = 0
-(0)+8y=4
8y=4
y=4/8=1/2
