The slope is -5/3.
5x plus 3 does equal 3 plus 5x; commutative law.
5x+3 = 3x+11 5x-3x = 11-3 2x = 8 x = 4
-4x + 3 = -5x + 3add 5x to each sidex + 3 = 3subtract three from each sidex = 0
3 + 5x = 38 -> 5x = 35 -> x = 7

27 + y = 42 - 4y so 5y = 15 making y = 3 and x = 6
33
5x=2x+27 subtract 2x from both sides get get X on only 1 side of the equation. 5x-2x=2x-2x + 27 leaves you with 3x = 27 divide both sides by 3 3x/3 = 27/3 leaves you with x = 9 answer X=9
If: y = -5x+3 then the points are (2, -7) and (6, -27)
5x+3 = -17 5x = -17-3 5x = -20 x = -4
5x + 3 = -12 5x =-12-3 =-15 x = -3
5x - 4x = 13 - 3 ie x = 10
5x+3 = 3x+11 5x-3x = 11-3 2x = 8 x = 4
-4x + 3 = -5x + 3add 5x to each sidex + 3 = 3subtract three from each sidex = 0
3 + 5x = 38 -> 5x = 35 -> x = 7
