\n" ); document.write( "First, put the equation into y=mx+b form. Then, the slope is just the 'm' term.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-x%2B3y=15\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3y=x%2B15\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=x%2F3%2B5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So, your slope is just the 'm' term, (the coefficient of x):
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28m=1%2F3%29\"$
