I'm a junior in high school & i'm going over old material. The question states, \"Determine the slope of the line from the equation that describes the line\"  y=6x and the second problem y=-3/7x I have a feeling if I figure out the first problem I can probably figure out the second one even though its slightly more complex because is a fraction. Thank You very much for your help!! </SPAN>\n" );
