Question

PLEASE HELP!!
Find the slope of the line described by 5x + 6y = -30

Answer 1

m= -5/6

Explanation:

Use the slope-intercept form

y=mx+b to find the slope

Answer 2

TO FIND THE SLOPE OF THIS LINE LET US FIRST ARRANGE IT TO THE GENERAL EQUATION OF A STRAIGHT LINE Y=MX+C

`6y = - 30 - 5x \\ (6y)/(6) = ( - 30)/(6) - (5x)/(6) \\ y = - 5 - (5x)/(6)`

WE KNOW THAT THE SLOPE OF A LINE IN THE GENERAL EQUATION OF A STRAIGHT LINE Y=MX+C IS THE COEFFICIENT OF X.

IN THIS CASE THE SLOPE OF THE LINE IS

`- (5)/(6)`

GOODLUCK
