Question

What is the slope of the equation 2x 3y =- 7?

Answer 1

Answer: -2/3x OR 2/3x

Explanation:

If the equation is 2x+3y=-7:

2x+3y=-7

-2x -2x

3y=-2x-7

/3 /3

y=-2/3x-7

In a y=mx+b equation, slope is mx, which is -2/3x

If the equation is 2x-3y=-7:

2x-3y=-7

-2x -2x

-3y=-2x-7

/-3 /-3

y=2/3x-7

In a y=mx+b equation, slope is mx, which is 2/3x
