Find the slope of the line. 4x+5y=−3 Write your answer in simplest form.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

solve for "y", what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't know this is all Greek to me

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well.. begs the question why you're doing the exercise to begin with

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im just hetting back into school and Ive been out for a few years and im rusty

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

I can help

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well... I'd suggest you check your linear simplification section firstly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Help plz!!!

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

4x+5y=3 so first of all you have to get the y part alone so how would you get that 4x to go away?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

can anyone here do it for you? yes will that "help" you? nope unless you simply want it done, and not understand it but it's just a simple case of linear simplification and if you haven't covered that yet, it doesn't have any point in giving you this exercise

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Well let him/her try it but give them clues to what's going on people help me that way and I understand what is going on better

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Leaving someone to do it by their self isn't going to do anything because they might not understand it

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

So how do you get rid of that 4x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract it from both sides

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

So you will have?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

5y=?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

5y=-4x-3 because you subtracted 4x from the one side so it's gone and what you do to one side you have to do to the other so you have a -4x on the other side
