Answer:

The slope of the line represented by the equation
y = x - (5)/(36) is -1

Solution:

The slope - intercept form equation of line is given as

y = mx + c --- eqn 1

Where m is the slope of the line. The coefficient of “x” is the value of slope of the line.

B is the y – intercept which is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y-axis

From question, given that
y = x - (5)/(36)

Comparing the given equation
y = x - (5)/(36) with equation 1, we get

m = 1 and c =
(-5)/(36)

Hence the slope of the line represented by equation
y = x - (5)/(36) is -1
