Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Find the slope of the line represented by the equation 2x - 3y + 6 = 0.
Correct Answer: 2/3
  • Step 1: Start with the equation 2x - 3y + 6 = 0.
  • Step 2: Rearrange the equation to isolate y. First, move 2x and 6 to the other side: -3y = -2x - 6.
  • Step 3: Divide every term by -3 to solve for y: y = (2/3)x + 2.
  • Step 4: Identify the slope from the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope. Here, m = 2/3.
  • Linear Equations – Understanding how to rearrange linear equations into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) to identify the slope.
  • Slope Interpretation – Recognizing that the coefficient of x in the slope-intercept form represents the slope of the line.
