Question

The slope of the line whose equation is 5 x - 3 y = 4 is
5/3
4/5
-3/5

Answer 1

The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have:

`5x-3y=4\qquad|\text{subtract 5x from both sides}\\\\-3y=-5x+4\qquad|\text{divide both sides by (-3)}\\\\y=(5)/(3)x-(4)/(3)`

Answer: 5/3
