Question

What is the slope if the line x+3y = 10

Answer 1

the slope is -1/3

the Y intercept is 10/3

Explanation:

Answer 2

-1/3

Explanation:

We want to get the equation in slope intercept form (y=mx+b) where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

x+3y = 10

Subtract x from each side

x-x+3y = -x+10

3y = -x+10

Divide each side by 3

3y/3 = -1/3x +10/3

y = -1/3x +10/3

The slope is -1/3 and the y intercept is 10/3
