Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Finding Slope from the Equation of a Line Worksheets
To solve the problem of finding the slope from the given equations, we need to rewrite each equation in the slope-intercept form, which is:

\[
y = mx + b
\]

where:
- \( m \) is the slope,
- \( b \) is the y-intercept.

Let's solve each equation step by step.

---

1) \( 5x + 3y + 12 = 0 \)



1. Start with the given equation:
\[
5x + 3y + 12 = 0
\]

2. Isolate \( y \):
\[
3y = -5x - 12
\]

3. Divide through by 3:
\[
y = -\frac{5}{3}x - 4
\]

4. The slope \( m \) is the coefficient of \( x \):
\[
\text{slope} = -\frac{5}{3}
\]

---

2) \( 7x - 9 = y \)



1. The equation is already solved for \( y \):
\[
y = 7x - 9
\]

2. The slope \( m \) is the coefficient of \( x \):
\[
\text{slope} = 7
\]

---

3) \( -10 = 8x - y \)



1. Start with the given equation:
\[
-10 = 8x - y
\]

2. Isolate \( y \):
\[
y = 8x + 10
\]

3. The slope \( m \) is the coefficient of \( x \):
\[
\text{slope} = 8
\]

---

4) \( 4y - 15 = -3x \)



1. Start with the given equation:
\[
4y - 15 = -3x
\]

2. Isolate \( y \):
\[
4y = -3x + 15
\]

3. Divide through by 4:
\[
y = -\frac{3}{4}x + \frac{15}{4}
\]

4. The slope \( m \) is the coefficient of \( x \):
\[
\text{slope} = -\frac{3}{4}
\]

---

5) \( x = 3 + 7y \)



1. Start with the given equation:
\[
x = 3 + 7y
\]

2. Isolate \( y \):
\[
7y = x - 3
\]

3. Divide through by 7:
\[
y = \frac{1}{7}x - \frac{3}{7}
\]

4. The slope \( m \) is the coefficient of \( x \):
\[
\text{slope} = \frac{1}{7}
\]

---

6) \( 6x + 2y = -1 \)



1. Start with the given equation:
\[
6x + 2y = -1
\]

2. Isolate \( y \):
\[
2y = -6x - 1
\]

3. Divide through by 2:
\[
y = -3x - \frac{1}{2}
\]

4. The slope \( m \) is the coefficient of \( x \):
\[
\text{slope} = -3
\]

---

7) \( 10x + 2y = -9 \)



1. Start with the given equation:
\[
10x + 2y = -9
\]

2. Isolate \( y \):
\[
2y = -10x - 9
\]

3. Divide through by 2:
\[
y = -5x - \frac{9}{2}
\]

4. The slope \( m \) is the coefficient of \( x \):
\[
\text{slope} = -5
\]

---

8) \( 5y - 8x + 16 = 0 \)



1. Start with the given equation:
\[
5y - 8x + 16 = 0
\]

2. Isolate \( y \):
\[
5y = 8x - 16
\]

3. Divide through by 5:
\[
y = \frac{8}{5}x - \frac{16}{5}
\]

4. The slope \( m \) is the coefficient of \( x \):
\[
\text{slope} = \frac{8}{5}
\]

---

9) Find the slope of the line whose equation is \( 5x = -6y + 9 \)



1. Start with the given equation:
\[
5x = -6y + 9
\]

2. Isolate \( y \):
\[
-6y = -5x + 9
\]

3. Divide through by -6:
\[
y = \frac{5}{6}x - \frac{3}{2}
\]

4. The slope \( m \) is the coefficient of \( x \):
\[
\text{slope} = \frac{5}{6}
\]

---

Final Answers:



1. \( \text{slope} = -\frac{5}{3} \)
2. \( \text{slope} = 7 \)
3. \( \text{slope} = 8 \)
4. \( \text{slope} = -\frac{3}{4} \)
5. \( \text{slope} = \frac{1}{7} \)
6. \( \text{slope} = -3 \)
7. \( \text{slope} = -5 \)
8. \( \text{slope} = \frac{8}{5} \)
9. \( \text{slope} = \frac{5}{6} \)

\[
\boxed{-\frac{5}{3}, 7, 8, -\frac{3}{4}, \frac{1}{7}, -3, -5, \frac{8}{5}, \frac{5}{6}}
\]
