The slope of a line
\n" ); document.write( "Find the value of k so that the given line has slope m.
\n" ); document.write( "kx-3y=7, m=2
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Start with the provided equation:
\n" ); document.write( "kx-3y=7
\n" ); document.write( "Manipulate it into the \"slope-intercept\" form:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "m is slope
\n" ); document.write( "b is the y-intercept at (0,b)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "kx-3y=7
\n" ); document.write( "-3y = -kx+7
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-k/3)x - 7/3
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Now, we know the slope is -k/3
\n" ); document.write( "The problem tells us that m=2 so because
\n" ); document.write( "m = -k/3
\n" ); document.write( "substitute in our value of m:
\n" ); document.write( "2 = -k/3
\n" ); document.write( "6 = -k
\n" ); document.write( "-6 = k
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
