Question:

Find the slope for 5x+6y=18

Answer:
The standards slope-intercept form of a line is given by,
y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Now rewrite the given equation in to the standard form...

5x + 6y = 18

subtract 5x from both sides...

5x + 6y - 5x = 18 - 5x

==> 6y = 18 - 5x

Divide both sides by 6

==>

==> , which is of standard form

Comparing this equation with the standard one, we have..

m =

That is slope = and y-intercept =

Hope you found the explanation useful.

Regards.
