Answer:0.400/2.000=0.200

Step-by-step explanation:x-intercept = 6/1=6.000000

y-intercept = 6/-5 = -1.20000

The slope intercept form is given by:


\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{where:} \\ m=\text{slope} \\ b=y-\text{intercept} \\ \text{for:} \\ -3x+15y=-18 \\ \text{solve for y:} \\ \text{add 3x to both sides:} \\ -3x+15y+3x=-18+3x \\ 15y=-18+3x \\ \text{divide both sides by 15:} \\ (15y)/(15)=-(18)/(15)+(3x)/(15) \\ y=(1)/(5)x-(6)/(5) \end{gathered}
