Explanation:

First, let's convert the equation of the line into slope intercept form. Then we will compare the equation of the line with the formula. When we compare, we will get our slope.

Solution:

  • 2x + 4y = 6x − y
  • => Slope intercept form = y + 4y = 6x - 2x
  • => Slope intercept form = 5y = 4x
  • => Slope intercept form = 5y/5 = 4x/5
  • => Slope intercept form = y = 4x/5

Now, let's compare the equation with the formula.

  • => (y = 4x/5) = (y = mx + b)
  • => m = 4/5

Final Answer:

  • Slope = 4/5
