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. 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 \( x \):
\[
\text{slope} = -\frac{5}{3}
\]
