Question

Determine the slope of the line 6x+3y+10=0.

Answer 1

x=

−1 /2 y+ −5 /3

Explanation:

6x+3y+10=0

Step 1: Add -3y to both sides.

6x+3y+10+−3y=0+−3y

6x+10=−3y

Step 2: Add -10 to both sides.

6x+10+−10=−3y+−10

6x=−3y−10

Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.

6x /6

= −3y−10 /6

x=

−1 /2 y+ −5 /3
