Question

Find the slope of the line whose equation is 5y = x - 3.

-3
-3/5
1/5
5

Answer 1

1/5

Explanation:

Answer 2

The slope of the line whose equation follows the point-slope form (y=mx + b) is m. Transforming the equation 5y = x - 3 into the point-slope form by dividing the whole equation by 5 results to
`y = (1)/(5) (x) - (3)/(5)`. The slope, m, is 1/5.
