The slope is 10/6106.

Explanation:

In this case, it is quite simple to find the slope of the equation since the equation is already in slope-intercept form. What is slope-intercept form?

y=color(red)mx+color(blue)by=mx+b
where color(red)mm and color(blue)bb are both real numbers.

color(red)mm = slope, and
color(blue)bb = the yy-coordinate of the yy-intercept (in other words, the line intercepts the yy-axis at the point (0,color(blue)b)(0,b) )

You can now see that the equation in the question is already in this format.

y=color(red)10/color(red)6x+color(blue)10y=106x+10

Therefore, m (the slope) is color(red)10/color(red)6106.
