SOLUTION: I am having trouble understanding how to "find the slope, if it exist, of the line". Example: y=10/3x-5/7 or y=219/298x-6.7. Please help me to understand what this means.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Both of these equations are in slope-intercept form: y+=+mx+%2B+b where m is your slope and b is your y-intercept
ex.) y+=+10x%2F3+-+5%2F7 slope is 10/3
ex.) y+=+219x%2F298+-+6.7 slope is 219/298
