Question

What is the slope of the line defined by the equation 2x + 3y = 18?

Answer 1

you need to put the equation in y = mx + b form and m is your slope.
Can you do that ?

Answer 2

is it 2

Answer 3

alternative :
the slope of line ax + by = c is
m = -a/b
with m = slope

Answer 4

i still dont get it

Answer 5

2x + 3y = 18, it means a = 2 and b = 3. so m = -a/b = ....

Answer 6

2/18

Answer 7

try it this way....put the equation in y = mx + b form.
2x + 3y = 18 (subtract 2x from both sides)
3y = -2x + 18 (now divide by 3)
y = -2/3x + 6

slope in y = mx + b form is in the m position. So what is your slope ?

Answer 8

me and someone else just got 2. i dont get how to do this math.

Answer 9

did you put it in y = mx + b form ?

Answer 10

your probably just looking at the number in front of x without rearranging the equation.
