Determine the slope of the line 5x − 3y − 12 = 0. (5 points)

Question 1 options:

1)

negative five thirds

2)

negative three fifths

3)

three fifths

4)

five thirds

slope =

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

5x - 3y - 12 = 0 ( subtract 5x - 12 from both sides )

- 3y = - 5x + 12 ( divide all terms by - 3 )

y = x - 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m =

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
