Okay, here we have this:

Considering that the slope of a line with the form Ax+By=C is equal to -A/B, we obtain the following:

m=-6/-5

m=6/5=1.2

Finally we obtain that the slope is 6/5 or 1.2.

Let's solve the exercise in another way, solving for "y", and the coefficient that we obtain from x will be our slope:

6x-5y=20

-5y=-6x+20

y=(-6x+20)/-5

y=-6x/-5-4

y=6/5x-4

Here we can see that the slope is 6/5.
