how to find the slope of a line

Question

i was given the graph of 3x+2y=8

i want to know how to find the slope of the line

Answer 1

Hi Jordan - in the format "y = mx + b" the slope of the line is "m"...which is the constant in front of "x"

 

So we need to turn 3x + 2y = 8 into y = mx + b...in other words, we need to solve for "y"
