Answer:

-2/35

Explanation:

Slope y-intercept form : y = mx + b

Here m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Write the given equation in slope y-intercept form.


\sf (2)/(7)x + 5y = 15\\\\


\sf 5y = (-2)/(7)x + 15\\\\ y =(-2)/(7*5)x + (15)/(5)\\\\ y = (-2)/(35)x + 3\\\\ \boxed{\bf Slope = (-2)/(35)}
