The slope of the line 3x + 2y = 24 is -3/2
How to get the slope of the line?
A linear equation in the slope-intercept form is written as:
y = a*x + b
Here we know that the equation is written as:
3x + 2y = 24
To find the slope, we need to isolate the variable y, so let's do that.
3x + 2y = 24
2y = -3x + 24
y = (-3x + 24)/2
y = (-3/2)*x + 12
The slope is -3/2
