Answer:

6/5 is the slope

Explanation:

5y−6x−10=0

Solve for y

Add 6x to each side

5y−6x+6x−10=6x

5y -10 = 6x

Add 10 to each side

5y-10+10 = 6x+10

5y= 6x+10

Divide each side by 5

5y/5 = 6x/5 +10/5

y = 6/5x +2

This is in slope intercept form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is 6/5
