Question

5x + 3y = -2

Answer 1

what is the question?

Answer 2

You can't solve it because it has 2 unknowns.

Answer 3

x and y

Answer 4

do you want x in terms of y or y in terms of x?

Answer 5

Find the rate of change for it. And explain how you got it if you could(:

Answer 6

standard form would be x in terms of y yielding the equation for a line y=-5/3x - 2/3

by rate of change im assuming that they mean slope, so should be -5/3

Answer 7

I agree with you Doe, i was thinking about the average variation rate but it doesn't have much sense.

Answer 8

I'm not sure how you got that though.. Could you explain it to me? I understand how to do other kinds of these problems, I just can't get the hang of this kind.

Answer 9

We are talking about the ecuation of a line right? I'm asking because i'm not sure what your question is

Answer 10

The slope of the ecuation of a line is, if it's given in general form -A/B

Answer 11

AX+BY+C=0

Answer 12

when you just have an equation with x,y, and a number (even if it is zero) as long as there are no powers it will result in a linear relationship between the variables. This is why you get lines when graphing equations like this.

Therefore any rate of change will be linear and equal to the slope of the line since the slope is the change in y/the change in x.

Answer 13

hope that clears it up
