-----------------
10x - 21y = 0?
y = (10/21)x [not 10x + 21]
Slope = 10/21
That's the slope, regardless of the options.

We are given
How do I find the slope of the equation 10x - 21y = 0?
first solve the equation for y
21y = 10x
and
y = (10/21) * x
now you can use y = mx + b and we have
m = 10 / 21
