Question

Amira is told there is a trick to finding the slope within an equation in standard form, Ax + By= C. She is told she can rewrite this equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, to find the pattern. She correctly rewrites the equation 7x + 9y = 14 in slope-intercept form as y = - 7/9 x + 14/9. Which answer explains the pattern for how to find the slope using an equation in standard form?

Answer 1

The slope of given equation in standard form

`m = (-7)/(9)`

Explanation:

Explanation:-

Given equation of the line 7x + 9y = 14

The given equation in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b

Slope - intercept form
`y = (-7)/(9) x + (14)/(9)`

Comparing m = - 7/9

Here m = -7/9

C = 14/9

The slope of given equation in standard form

`m = (-7)/(9)`
