Question

Hey guys, i need help on this one, thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) expand those brackets on the left side my multiplying

x - 5 = 3y + 12 - 2y + 1

2) simplify by collecting like terms

x - 5 = y + 13

3) bring -5 to the right side by adding 5

x = y + 18

4) let's rearrange this equation in the form y = mx + c where m is the gradient (slope) and c is the y intercept. by subtracting 18 on both sides

y = (1)x - 18 (there is a 1 in front of the x, but we don't write it like that. m is 1)

y = x - 18

the slope is the gradient, which is 1
