Answer:

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)
