Question 2354: I'm confused about the whole Slope deal. I dont really understand the equations for it. I know that the equation is y=mx+b but how do you solve a problem that is like 10y - 12x = 8? Answer by longjonsilver(2297) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! re-arrange it to the form you need, ie 1y equals, like so...
10y-12x=8
10y = 12x + 8
y = 1.2x + 0.8
so now, m=1.2 ie the gradient is +1.2 (just over 1). A gradient of 1 is a line at 45 degrees (for equal scales on the 2 axes)
