Question

What is the slope of the line with the equation 3y+5x=4

Question 4 options:

-5


−53

35

3

Answer 1

I think none of these are right. It's Y=-5/3x +4/3

Answer 2

`- (5)/(3)`

Step-by-step explanation

The given line has equation

`3y + 5x = 4`

Rewrite the equation in the form:

`y = mx + b`

Add -5x to both sides.

`3y + 5x - 5x = - 5x + 4`

`3y = - 5x + 4`

Divide through by 3.

`y = - (5)/(3)x + (4)/(3)`

Comparing to the slope intercept formula,

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

The slope is

`- (5)/(3)`
