Question

What is the slope of
A. y - 5 = 3/2 (x + 4)
B. y + 2 = 5x
C. y = -2 (x - 5/8)

Answer 1

`- - - - - (a) \: y - 5 = (3)/(2) (x + 4) \\ y - 5 = (3)/(2) x + (3 * 4)/(2) \\ y - 5 = (3)/(2) x + 6 \\ y = (3)/(2) + 11 \\ (the \: slope \: is \: (3)/(2) ) \\ - - - - - - - - ( b) \: y + 2 = 5x \\ y = 5x - 2 \\ (the \: slope \: is \: 5) \\ - - - - -(c) \: y = - 2(x - (5)/(8) ) \\ y = - 2x + (5)/(4) \\ (the \: slope \: is \: - 2)`
