Question

Find the slope: 3x-5y=-40
I don’t know how to solve it

Answer 1

Answer:
`m=(3)/(5)`

Explanation:

Problem: 3x - 5y = -40

1. Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form

`y=(3)/(5) x+8`

2. Since the equation is written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, identify the slope of the line as the coefficient next to the variable

`y=(3)/(5)x+8 , m=(3)/(5)`
