Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 2x+ 3y= -12

Answer 1

the answer would be y=2/3-4

Answer 2

Slope: -2/3

Explanation:

In order to solve this we first have to clear the equation for Y:

`2x+ 3y= -12\\3y=-12-2x\\y=(-12-2x)/(3)\\ y=-4-(2)/(3) x`

Remember that the equation in the form of Y is represented in this way:

y=mx+c

Where M is the slope and C is the constant, so the slope is the number that is multiplying x, in the equation, in this case -2/3 is the number that is multiplying x, sot eh slope of the equation is -2/3
