Question

For the equation of straight line $3x-2y+5=0$, slope = .

• A. $\frac{2}{3}$
• B. $\frac{3}{2}$
• C. $\frac{5}{2}$
• D. $\frac{2}{5}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $-\frac{3}{2}$

Given straight line is 3x - 2y + 5 = 0

$\Rightarrow -2y=-3x-5$

$\Rightarrow 2y=3x+5$

$\Rightarrow$ y = $\frac{3}{2}x$ + $\frac{5}{2}$

Comparing given line with point slope form, $y=mx+c,$
We get $m$ (slope) $=\frac{3}{2}$.
