Answer: [tex]m=\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Problem: 3x - 5y = -40
1. Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form
[tex]y=\frac{3}{5} x+8[/tex]
2. Since the equation is written in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, identify the slope of the line as the coefficient next to the variable
[tex]y=\frac{3}{5}x+8 , m=\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
