Question

Given the line -9x-6y=18. Find the slope

Answer 1

slope = -
`(3)/(2)`

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange - 9x - 6y = 18 into this form

Add 9x to both sides

- 6y = 9x + 18 ( divide all terms by - 6 )

y = -
`(3)/(2)` x - 3 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = -
`(3)/(2)`
