Question

What is the slope of the line associated with the equation 5x- 6y=30

Answer 1

5/6

Explanation:

put the equation into slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

5x - 6y = 30

-6y = -5x + 30

y = (-5/-6)x - (30/6)

y = 5/6x - 5

Therefore, slope = m = 5/6

Answer 2

so shortcut method for finding slope in equation is simply slope = - coefficent of x/ coefficient of y
