Question

Determine the slope of the line 5x-3y-12=0

Answer 1

slope of the line=5/3

Explanation:

The general slope-intercept form of a line is given by,

y=mx+c

where, m is the slope of the line and c is the y-intercept

`5x - 3y - 12 = 0`

`- 3y = 12 - 5x`

`3y = - (12 - 5x)`

`3y = 5x - 12`

`y = (5x - 12)/(3) = (5)/(3) x - 4`

Here, m=5/3
