Question

What is the slope of the graph of 7x + 14y = -9?

A. -2
B. -½
C. ½
D. 2

Answer 1

.....

Answer 2

ya solve for y so to do that you need to get y alone by subtracting 7x from both sides to get 14y=-7y-9

Answer 3

then you divide both sides by 14 to get y=-1/2x-9/14. so do you know what y=mx+b means?

Answer 4

m=the slope and b=the y coordinate. so if m=slope and -1/2 is in m's spot, then what's the slope?

Answer 5

Elaborate? Yes I can. I was just confused

Answer 6

Okay.. Thank you

Answer 7

@tfht thank you so much

Answer 8

for explaining

Answer 9

So would it be -2?

Answer 10

no what is in front of x?
