Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 2x+3y= -12?

-3/2
-2/3
2/3
3/2

Answer 1

-2/3 is your answer since 2x+3y=-12
Then you add -2x on both sides making
3y=-12-2x
Then you divide the 3 to get the y by itself
So y=-12-2x/3
Which is y=-4-2/3x and the x is the slope so it’s -2/3
