Question:

What is the slope of the following line? 2x – 3y = 18

Answer:

The standard for of equation of a line is, y = mx + c, where 'm' is the slope and 'c' is the y-intercept.

So rewrite the given equation,2x – 3y = 18 in the standard form....
==> y+=+%282%2F3%29x+-+18%2F3
==> y+=+%282%2F3%29x+-+6

So slope of the given equation is 2%2F3



Hope you found the explanation useful.
