Question

4x+5y=-6

Find the slope

Answer 1

`-(4)/(5)`

Explanation:

4x+5y=-6

the goal is to get y on one side and everything else on the other side

step 1 subtract 4x from each side

4x-4x cancels out

now we have

5y=-4x-6

step 2 divide each side by 5

5/5 cancels out

now we have

`y=(-4)/(5)x + (6)/(5)`

we can conclude that the slope is

`-(4)/(5)`

hope this helps :)
