Question

Determine the slope of the line 6x + 3y + 10 = 0.

−2
negative one half
one over two
2

Answer 1

hello :

6x + 3y + 10 = 0.....
3y = -6x-10
y = -6/3 x -10/3
y = -2x-10/3.... ( the slope is : -2 )

Answer 2

Option A is correct.

Explanation:

Given Equation of Line: 6x + 3y + 10 = 0

We have to find Slope.

We find Slope by rewriting the given equation in slope intercept form that is

y = mx + c where m is lope of line.

6x + 3y + 10 = 0

3y = -6x - 10

`y=(-6)/(3)x-(10)/(3)`

`y=-2x-(10)/(3)`

So, Slope of given line = -2

Therefore, Option A is correct.
