Question

What is the slope of the line with the equation 8x + 3y = 9?

A) −3/8

B) −8/3

C) 3/8

D) 8/3

Answer 1

B)
`-8/3`

Explanation:

Question:
`8x+3y=9` <-- Find Slope

* I am going to change this equation into slope intercept form (y=mx+b) *

1) Subtract 8x from both sides:

`3y=-8x+9`

2) Divide both sides by 3:

`y=-8/3x+3`
