what is the slope of the line with the equation 2x+3y+6=0

Question

anonymous · Answer

you have to put this in the y=mx+b format, can you do that?

anonymous · Answer

you can do that.  amistre doesn't.  in standard form 
$$ax+by+c=0$$ slope is 
$$-\frac{a}{b}$$

anonymous · Answer

same thing of course, but your choice

I prefer to memorize methods rather than formulas ;p

All you need to do is rearrange this equation by adding and subtracting the terms so it looks similar to (I know this will look unprofessional but just think that # means "number") #y=#x+#. Then simplify things so it's just y=#x+#. You'll find that this equation is in the y=mx+b format. The m means the slope, and that's your answer! 

You just need to mess with the equation to find the answer.
