Question 77264: How do you find the slope of the line: 15x-3y=-135
Answer by avidreader27(9)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! to find the slope of this equation, you first need to get it in the proper form of an equation of a line, which is:
y=mx+b where m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept.
15x-3y = -135
solve the equation for y in terms of x>
-3y = -15x - 135
divide every term by -3 to get:
y = 5x+45
the slope of the line in this case is 5.
Hope this helps!!!
