Question 91249
Question:


What is the slope of the following line?   2x – 3y = 18


Answer:


The standard for of  equation of a line is, y = mx + c, where 'm' is the slope and 'c' is the y-intercept.


So rewrite the given equation,2x – 3y = 18  in the standard form....

==> {{{y = (2/3)x - 18/3}}}

==> {{{y = (2/3)x - 6}}}


So slope of the given equation is {{{2/3}}}




Hope you found the explanation useful.
