Find the slope of 7y+17x-6+0?

Question

please can someone please help me

Answer 1

an line equation is this format y=mx+c

where m is the slope

so 7y=-17x+6

y= -17/7x + 6/7

your slope is -17/7

Answer 2

When looking for the slope, you need to get the equation to resemble y=mx+b, where m is the slope.  Do the following:

1) ignore the +0, adding zero means nothing

2) add 6 to both sides : 7y+17x=6

3) subtract 17x from both sides: 7y=-17x+6

4) divide both sides by 7 : y = -17x/7 + 6/7

pulling the x out of the fraction gives you -(17/7)x

x has to be positive, so comparing to the slope function m= -17/7

Answer 3

lines that have slope are represented by EQUATIONS, and what you wrote has no equal sign.
