INPUT GREATLY APPRECIATED! Without graphing the following equations, determine which one has the greater slope. Also, explain the process by which you came to your conclusion:
a. 2y=5x-3
b. 5y=11x+3

you need to put both equation in the form y = mx+b. since you have a coefficient on the y, simply divide both sides by it, and you'll get "m"

what did you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
alright lets see what we hve

I'm not really trying to solve I'm just figuring out which one would have the greater slope w/o graphing or anything.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oohhhh ok hold on okay

alright for A=5/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and for B=11/5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
those are the two slopes there
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thanks! So basically you determined by solving?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yep
