You can put this solution on YOUR website! Form y=mx+b shows slope to be m.
Solve YOUR equation for y and adjust into slope-intercept form. Then simply read the slope from the equation.
From equation 2x - 5y = 0 express y as a function of x.
y = .
Do you understand how I did it ?
When you have "y" expressed as a linear function of "x", in the form
y = mx + b,
the slope is simply coefficient "m" at "x".
So in your case the slope is .
That's all.
