Question

What is the slope of –3x + 5y = 10? A. m = B. m = 5 C. m = – D. m = –3

Answer 1

The slope is 3/5

Explanation:

–3x + 5y = 10

Rewrite the equation in slope intercept form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Add 3x to each side

5y = 3x+10

Divide by 5

y = 3/5 x + 10/2

The slope is 3/5
