Question

Find the slope of the line.
3x+5y=2

Answer 1

The standard form of line is given by : \(ax + by = c\), for this Slope is given by:

\[Slope = - \frac{ x \; \text{coefficient}}{y \; \text{coefficient}}\]

Answer 2

What is x-coefficient there can you tell?

Answer 3

x-coefficient is the term that is attached to \(x\), what is it?

Answer 4

Do you believe in replying or interacting?? :P

Answer 5

sorry! is it 3

Answer 6

And for y it is?

Answer 7

5

Answer 8

So just plug in :

\[Slope = -\frac{3}{5}\]

Answer 9

Right?

Answer 10

Thats it? like thats the answerr? lol

Answer 11

\(\text{This is it..}\)

Answer 12

But point to remember is : you equation should be in Standard Form, this formula is applicable for Standard Form only.. :)

Answer 13

*your

Answer 14

oh okay i thought it was much harder then that lol thank you

Answer 15

Standard Form looks like this : \(ax + bx = c\), like your equation : 3x + 5y = 2

Answer 16

*\(by\)

Answer 17

Did you get this?

Answer 18

I did.

Answer 19

Okay, good..!! :)
