Which answer choice explains the pattern for how to find the slope using an equation in standard form?

Question is using standard formula ax+by=c to find the slope by converting into slope intercept form y=mx+b

so we also need to convert ax+by=c into y=mx+b as shown below:

divide both sides by

Now compare it with y=mx+b, we get

So using values of a and b, we can find the slope

compare given equation -5x+2y=15 with ax+by=c, we get:

a=-5, b=2

Now plug both into above formula

Now matching these details with given choices we find that THIRD choice is the final answer.

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.

“a term can be a signed number, a variable, or a constant multiplied by a + sign or j sign. in , the terms are 5x , 3y and 8. when a term is made up of a constant multiplied by a variable or variables, that constant is called a coefficient.” i hope this you.
