Question

3x + 5y = -7 slope for this equation

Answer 1

slope = -
`(3)/(5)`

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

3x + 5y = - 7 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

5y = - 3x - 7 ( divide all terms by 5 )

y = -
`(3)/(5)` x -
`(7)/(5)` ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = -
`(3)/(5)`

Answer 2

I have attached the picture of the slope.
