A line has an x-intercept of 3 and a y-intercept of 2. Determine the slope of a line parallel to this line.

-2/3 = m

Step-by-step explanation:

Points on the given line are (3, 0) and (0, 2).  Going from (0, 2) to (3, 0), the run is 3 and the rise is -2.  Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = rise / run = -2/3 = m

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
