Question

find the slope and y- intercept
x + 3y
+ 5 = 0​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of any straight line can be written as y=mx+c, where m is its slope and c is its y - intercept.

x+3y+5=0 can be written as 3y=−x−5 or y=

Answer 2

Answer:

The equation of any straight line can be written as y=mx+c, where m is its slope and c is its y - intercept.

x+3y+5=0 can be written as 3y=−x−5 or y=  -1/3 x−  5/3

 

Comparing this equation with the standard form of the equation, we get:

m=−  1/3,c=−  5/3

Hence, slope of x+3y+5=0 is −31 and y - intercept is −35.
