Find the slope if it exists, 5x + 6Y = 30
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Put into the slope/intercept form: y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "5x + 6y = 30
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 5x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "6y = -5x + 30
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 6
\n" ); document.write( "y = $\"-5%2F6\"$ x + $\"30%2F6\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y = $\"-5%2F6\"$ x + 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The slope (m) = $\"-5%2F6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
