Question

Determine the slope of the line represented by the equation: −10x+9y=13

Answer 1

Taking the given equation to its slope-intercept form we get:

`\begin{gathered} -10x+9y+10x=13+10x, \\ 9y=10x+13, \\ (9y)/(9)=(10x+13)/(9), \\ y=(10)/(9)x+(13)/(9)\text{.} \end{gathered}`

Answer: The slope of the given line is:

`(10)/(9)\text{.}`
