Question

The slope of the line whose equation is x + 2y = 3 is -1/2 -1 -2

Answer 1

x + 2y = 3
2y = -x + 3
y = -1/2x + 3/2

y = mx + b , slope = m

so equation above y = -1/2x + 3/2, slope m = -1/2

answer
-1/2

Answer 2

A) -1/2

Explanation:

The given equation is x + 2y = 3

The general form of slope-intercept form is y = mx +b, where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

Now let's write the given equation in slope-intercept form.

x + 2y = 3

Subtract x from both sides, we get

x - x + 2y = -x + 3

2y = -x + 3

Dividing both sides by 2, we get

2y/2 = -1/2x + 3/2

y = -1/2x + 3/2

Here the slope (m) = -1/2 and y-intercept(b) = 3/2
