Question

What is the slope of the following equation? 8x+3y=9

Answer 1

The answer is -8/3.

Explanation:

First, you have to make y the subject :

8x + 3y = 9

3y = -8x + 9

y = (-8/3)x + 3

In a linear equation, y = mx + b, m represent gradient (slope). So in this equation the slope is -8/3.

Answer 2

The slope is -8/3 :-) Hope this helps
