Find the slope of the line 3x+5y=30
Step 1: You need two points to find the slope of a line. Intercepts are easy points to find so use them to compute the slope. Find the x- and y-intercepts. Write the intercepts as ordered pairs. Show your work.
Step 2: You now have two points on the line, one is the x-intercept and one is the y-intercept. Use these two points to find the slope of the line using the slope formula, y2−y1 Write the slope as a fraction in simplest form. Show your work.
