$\frac{6}{13}$ $6/13$

We need to put this line into the form $y = m x + c$ $y=mx+c$ where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

$- 6 x + 13 y = - 2$ $-6x+13y=-2$
$13 y = 6 x - 2$ $13y=6x-2$
$y = \frac{6}{13} x - \frac{2}{13}$ $y=6/13x-2/13$

Comparing this to $y = m x + c$ $y=mx+c$ , $m = \frac{6}{13}$ $m=6/13$ . So the gradient is $\frac{6}{13}$ $6/13$

What is the slope of the equation −6x+13y=−2-6x+13y=-2?
