Question

What is the slope of the graph of the equation below? 3x+y=5

A -5
B -3
C 3
D 5

Answer 1

3x + y = 5 can be re-written in slope-intercept form to be y = -3x + 5

slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope. if we look for the m value in the equation i provided, it shows to be -3.

therefore, the answer is B, the slope is -3 units

Answer 2

3x+y=5

We move x to the other side
Y= _3x+5

So the slope is _3
The answer is B
