Graph
3x + 5y = 15
x-intercept =
y-intercept =
what is the slope of this line
Answer provided by our tutors
To graph an equation, Click on 'Graph', type in the equation '3x + 5y = 15' and click on 'Solve':
From the graph we see that:
x-intercept = (5, 0)
y-intercept = (0, 3)
Since the equation '3x + 5y = 15' is transformed to slope-intercept form 'y = (-3/5)x + 3' the slope is (-3/5).
