Question

What is the slope of A. y - 5 = 3/2 (x + 4) B. y + 2 = 5x C. y = -2 (x - 5/8)

Answer 1

Answer:

$- - - - - (a) \: y - 5 = \frac{3}{2} (x + 4) \\ y - 5 = \frac{3}{2} x + \frac{3 \times 4}{2} \\ y - 5 = \frac{3}{2} x + 6 \\ y = \frac{3}{2} + 11 \\ (the \: slope \: is \: \frac{3}{2} ) \\ - - - - - - - - ( b) \: y + 2 = 5x \\ y = 5x - 2 \\ (the \: slope \: is \: 5) \\ - - - - -(c) \: y = - 2(x - \frac{5}{8} ) \\ y = - 2x + \frac{5}{4} \\ (the \: slope \: is \: - 2)$
