Question 64330
The slope intercept form of a line is {{{highlight(y=mx+b)}}}, where m=slope and b=y-intercept.
What is the slope of the equation: 5x-6y= -18
-5x+5x-6y=-5x-18
0-6y=-5x-18
-6y=-5x-18
-6y/-6=(-5/-6)x-18/-6
y=(5/6)x+3
The slope is the coefficient of x, {{{highlight(m=5/6)}}}
:
You didn't ask, but we also know that the y-intercept is b=3
Happy Calculating!!!
