The correct Answer is:
To find the slope of the line given by the equation \(2x + y = 3\) and determine which of the provided options has a different slope, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the slope of the line \(2x + y = 3\) To find the slope, we need to convert the equation into the slope-intercept form \(y = mx + c\), where \(m\) is the slope. Starting with the equation: \[ 2x + y = 3 \] We can isolate \(y\): \[ y = -2x + 3 \] From this, we can see that the slope \(m\) is: \[ m = -2 \] ### Step 2: Check the slopes of the given options #### Option A: \(2x + y = 3\) This is the same equation as the original line, so the slope is: \[ m = -2 \] #### Option B: \(x + \frac{y}{2} = 3\) First, we multiply through by 2 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 2x + y = 6 \] Now, isolate \(y\): \[ y = -2x + 6 \] Thus, the slope is: \[ m = -2 \] #### Option C: \(x = -\frac{y}{2} - 3\) Rearranging gives: \[ 2x = -y - 6 \implies y = -2x - 6 \] Thus, the slope is: \[ m = -2 \] #### Option D: \(x + 2y = 9\) Rearranging gives: \[ 2y = -x + 9 \implies y = -\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{9}{2} \] Thus, the slope is: \[ m = -\frac{1}{2} \] ### Conclusion The slopes of the lines from options A, B, and C are all \(-2\), while the slope of the line from option D is \(-\frac{1}{2}\). Therefore, the slope of the line \(2x + y = 3\) is NOT the same as the slope of option D. ### Final Answer The slope of the line \(2x + y = 3\) is NOT the same as the slope of option D: \(x + 2y = 9\). ---
