Question

find the slope of a line that has an equation of 13/4x+17/4y=-17

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = -13/17

Step-by-step explanation:

(13/4)x + (17/4)y = -17

4*((13/4)x) + 4*((17/4)y) = 4(-17)

13x + 17y = -68

17y= -13x - 68

17y/17= -13x/17 - 68/17

y = (-13/17)x - 4 <<< slope intercept form: y = mx + b; m = slope

m = -13/17
