Find the slope of the line with the equation 3x - 2y = 1?
\n" ); document.write( "First to obtain a set of points that follow the rule of the equation, you must substitute values of x into the equation to get the corresponding values for y.
\n" ); document.write( "You can select any two values for x and substitute them.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=1 and x=3(keep it simple, work smart not hard)
\n" ); document.write( "3(1)-2y=1
\n" ); document.write( "3-2y=1 then u cancel out the 3 by adding a -3 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-3 -3 subtract
\n" ); document.write( "______\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-2y=-2 work out the problem by dividing a -2 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-2 -2
\n" ); document.write( "the first set of negative two's cancel each other out.
\n" ); document.write( "Y=1 is the first answer
\n" ); document.write( "your first set of coordinates is (1,1).\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3(3)-2y=1
\n" ); document.write( "9-2y=1 cancel out the 9 by adding a -9 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-9 -9
\n" ); document.write( "_______
\n" ); document.write( "-2y=-8 divide both sides by -2
\n" ); document.write( "-2 -2
\n" ); document.write( "y=4 so the next set of coordinates is (3,4)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now find the slope by using the equation (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "so 4-1=3 (y2-y1)
\n" ); document.write( "and 3-1=2 (x2-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "so the slope is 3/2
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
