Question

What is the slope of `62=-30y+6x`?

Answer 1

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`
