Question

What is the slope of the line 5x+3y=15

Answer 1

Rearrange the equation so it looks like y=mx+b


y=$\frac{-5}{3}$+5
m is the slope
m=$\frac{-5}{3}$

Answer 2

Solve for x.

5x+3y=15

Add -3y to both sides.

5x+3y+−3y=15+−3y

5x=−3y+15

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

5x/5 = − 3y+15/5

x=−3/5y+3
