Answer:

Solve the equation for y. See example.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll use 3x + 5y = 15. First subtract 3x from both sides since it is positive.

[tex]3x + 5y = 15 \\ - 3x \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:\: \: \: \: \: \: - 3x[/tex]

[tex]5y = - 3x + 15[/tex]

Now solve for y by dividing each term by 5.

[tex] \frac{5y}{5} = \frac{ - 3}{5} x + \frac{15}{5} [/tex]

Now simplify.

[tex]y = \frac{ - 3}{5} x + 3[/tex]

The slope is

[tex] - \frac{3}{5} [/tex]
