Question

Using this equation 2x + 3y = 7

a. find the slope
b. find the parallel slope
c. find the perpendicular slope

help asap!!!! this homework is due tmrw and I can't figure this out :(​

Answer 1

You need to make Y by itself without the 3, so you divide everything by 3 so Y can be it’s on variable, then you’ll move the 2/3x over the equal sign, so now your equation should look like y= -2/3x + 7. Your slope is -2/3, and it’s negative because it moved over the = sign
