Question

What is the slope of `62=-35y+15x`?

Answer 1

`3/7`

Explanation:

`62 = -35y + 15x`

Rearrange the equation

`35y = 15x - 62`

Didvide both sides by `35`

`(cancel(35) y)/cancel(35) = (15x)/35 - 62/35`

`y = (3x)/7 - 62/35`

It’s in the form of `y = mx + c`

Where

• `m = "slope" = 3/7`
• `c = "y-intercept" = -62/35`
