Slope: 1/5

Explanation:

The slope of a line in general standard form: color(red)(A)x+color(blue)(B)y=C
is (-color(red)(A)/color(blue)(B))

62=-30y+6x
is equivalent to color(red)(6)x+(color(blue)(-30))y=62

and therefore has a slope of
color(white)("XXX")(-(color(red)(6))/color(blue)((-30)))

color(white)("XXX")= 1/5
