What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 2x-6y=10?
Solve for y, then the slope is the coefficient of x.

Put the equation into the form:
+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+b+ where
+m+ = slope
-------------------
+2x+-+6y+=+10+
Subtract +2x+ from both sides
+-6y+=+-2x+%2B+10+
Multiply both sides by +-1+
+6y+=+2x+-+10+
Divide both sides by +6+
+y+=+%281%2F3%29%2Ax+-+5%2F3+
The slope is +1%2F3+
