Question

5x+3y=-2

Answer 1

What am I supposed to do with this?

Answer 2

one sec its not complete

Answer 3

have to find the rate of change

Answer 4

Ok. So what you have here is the equation for a line. You need to find the rate of change, which in this case is the same thing as a slope.
Do you know what the slope of a line is?

Answer 5

Rate of change= slope.
Get it into point slope form. y=mx+b, where m is the slope.

Answer 6

change into linear form of y = mx + b, and you'll get y = -5/3 - 2/3 so the m is the slope or the rate of change is -5/3

Answer 7

kinda new to this stuff i went to a school that skipped right over this its annoying

Answer 8

missed the x it's supposed to be y = -5/3x - 2/3

Answer 9

y=mx+b is the formula
3y=-5x-2
y=-5x/3-2/3

Answer 10

Rate Of Change :
5x+3y=-2 subtract 5x from both sides

5x-5x + 3y = -2 -5x

3y = -5x - 2 Divide both sides by 3

3y/3 = (-5x - 2)/3

y = -5/3x - 2/3

Answer 11

Yeah, so basically all you do is rearrange it to y=mx+b form, and then "m" is your answer

Answer 12

ok that looks right to me

Answer 13

you good?

Answer 14

whoops sorry didn't see. @FriedRice is right! :)

Answer 15

So is @varun1495
