Question

What is the slope of 6x+3y=15

Answer 1

The slope is -2.

-------------------------

Given line in standard form of:

• ax + by = c

Its slope is determined in the slope-intercept form:

• y = mx + b, where m is the slope

Convert the given equation into slope-intercept form:

• 6x + 3y = 15
• 3y = - 6x + 15
• y = - 2x + 5

The slope is m = - 2.
