Question

How do you find the slope and intercept of `3/2x+y=-5`?

Answer 1

slope = `-3/2` , y-intercept = -5

Explanation:

One of the forms of the equation of a straight line is y = mx + c

where m represents the slope and c the y-intercept.

rearranging the given equation into this form : `y = -3/2 x - 5`

comparing the two equations we get that m = `-3/2` and y-intercept is -5.
