Question

Given line L = ax + by + c = 0, b0

What is the slope of this function?

A.)-a/b
B.) a/b
C.) b/a

Answer 1

try to isolate y.
can u ?

Answer 2

bring it in the form y=mx+c
then m is the slope

Answer 3

divide the y over

Answer 4

no,ax + by + c = 0
subtract ax+c from both sides, what u get?

Answer 5

put ax+by+c equal to zero
thus ax+by+c=0
evaluate y
y=(-a/b)x-c/b
the coefficient of x is the slope of this line

Answer 6

by=ax+c

Answer 7

oh I get it now @03453660 Thanks both of you

Answer 8

you divide b over once you get by by itself THXX

Answer 9

i didnt get you
