Question 38449
To find the slope (m) solve the equation for y then it will be in the "slope-intercept" form:{{{y = mx+b}}}, then you just read the slope which is the coefficient of x.

{{{3x + 2y = 5}}}  Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation.
{{{2y = -3x + 5}}}  Divide both sides by 2.
{{{y = (-3/2)x + 5/2}}} Compare this with:
{{{y = mx + b}}}

You can see that {{{m = -3/2}}}
