Question

X+3y=10 what is the slope of the line

Answer 1

`-(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

y = mx + b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Subtract x from both sides of the equation.

x - x + 3y = 10 - x

3y = 10 - x

Divide each term by 3.

`\frac{3y}3y} = (10)/(3) + (-x)/(3)`

`y = (-x)/(3) + (10)/(3)`

Rewrite in slope intercept form.

`y = -(1)/(3)x + (10)/(3)`

Answer 2

-1/3 is the slope of the line
