For #s 1 and 2: go to wolframalpha . com and type the equation.
For #3:
To get the slope, we convert the given equation into the form,
y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Therefore,
-2x - 3y = 5
-3y = 5 + 2x
y = 5/(-3) + 2x/(-3)
y = (-2/3)x - 5/3
Thus the slope = -2/3
Hope this helps :)
