Question 59868
Hi Dawn,
Find the slope of the line determined by each equation.

3x+2y=12
When asked to determine the slope of a linear equation, we put the equation into slope intercept form:{{{highlight(y=mx+b)}}}, m=slope and b=y-intercept.
-3x+3x+2y=-3x+12
0+2y=-3x+12
2y=-3x+12
{{{2y/2=(-3/2)x+12/2}}}
{{{y=highlight(-3/2)x+6}}}  The slope, m=-3/2.
Happy Calculating!!!
