SOLUTION: I am having a hard time finding the slope of 6x+7y+5=0. x intercept is -5/6 and y intercept is -5/7. So the straight line of the slope is?

Question 13931: I am having a hard time finding the slope of 6x+7y+5=0. x intercept is -5/6 and y intercept is -5/7. So the straight line of the slope is?

Well, you've got the x and y-intercepts right.
To find the slope, get your equation into the slope-intercept form: The slope is m.
Subtract 6x and 5 from both sides.
Now divide both sides by 7.
Compare this with:
and you'll see that the slope, m is -6/7
