Question

Slope of 6x - 5y = -20

Answer 1

6/5

Explanation:

6x - 5y = -20

One of the easiest ways to do this is to convert into slope intercept form.

`6x - 5y = -20\\6x-6x-5y=-20-6x \rightarrow \text {Subtraction Property of Equality}\\-5y=-20-6x\\\\(-5y)/(-5)=(-20-6x)/(-5) \rightarrow\text {Division Property of Equality}\\y=4+(6)/(5)x\\\\\huge{\boxed {y=(6)/(5)x+4}}`

`(6)/(5)` is the slope of the equation, as it replaces the 'm' spot in the slope intercept equation.

`y=mx+b`
