Can someone help me find the Rate Of Change in 5x+3y =-2?

Question

amistre64 · Answer

rate of change tends to be a calculus term; are you dong calculus or just trying to find the slope of a line?

anonymous · Answer

Find the slope of the line.

site seems to be a little on the fritz today :/

amistre64 · Answer

one way to find the slope is to let x =0 to find y

then let x=1 and find y again; then subtract the x=1 value of y from the x=0 value of y

anonymous · Answer

3y= - 5x -2
 Y= - 5/3x - 2/3
 If x=0, y= - 2/3 (OY intercept)
 m= - 5/3 (the slope)

amistre64 · Answer

slope can be defined as the distance and direction the value of y moves as x moves by 1

anonymous · Answer

5x + 3y = -2
 
y = mx + b
 
Subtract 5x from each side
 
5x + 3y - 5x = 3y
 
-2 - 5x = -2 -5x
 
3y = -2 -5x
 
Divide each item by 3
 
3y/3 = -2/3 -5x/3
 
y = -5x/3 -2/3
