Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y=x/6 −5 ?

−5
1/6
5/6
6

Answer 1

1/6

Explanation:

Solution:

The given equation is:y=x/6 -5

arranging the equation :x/6-y=5

Given,

Coefficient of x=1/6

coefficient of y=-1

So,

Slope(m)=-(Coefficient of x/coefficient of y))

= -(1/6 / -1) {minus divided by - becomes plus }

1 by 6 whole divide by 1

= 1/6 ans✓

Answer 2

• slope is the gradient(coefficient of (x) in the equation .
• We have
• 
  `(x)/(6)`
• which can also be written as
• 
  `(1)/(6) x \: therefore \: the \: slope \: is \: (1)/(6)`
