Question

Using the given equation find the missing coordinates of the points and then find the slope of the line for each equation

4.5x+3y=2:
A(...,1/3)
B(2/3,...)

Answer 1

A(2/9, 1/3)

B(2/3, -1/3)

slope = -1.5

Explanation:

A graph can show the coordinates of interest: A(2/9, 1/3); B(2/3, -1/3).

Rearranging the equation to slope-intercept form, we have ...

3y = -4.5x +2

y = -1.5x +2/3

The slope is -1.5.
