There’s an easy rule for this form !
if you ever see this form : ax+by=c
and it asks about the slope, then you can use this rule : slope= -a/b
and if it asks about the y-intercept, you can use this rule : y-intercept= c/b
so to get the slope of your question, all you have to do is : slope = -2/3
I hope this helped !
Answer:
m = -2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 3y = 12
-2x. -2x
3y = -2x + 12
÷3. ÷3. ÷3
y = -2/3x + 4
m = -2/3
