Question

Find the slope of the line whose equation is x - 6y + 12 = 0.

Answer 1

Subtract x from both sides and you get -6y+12=-x
now subtract 12 from both side, youll get -6y=-x-12
Divide -6 from both sides, y=- -x-12 over 6
y= 1 over 6x +2 
m= 1/6  1 over 6

Answer 2

The slope of the line would be one over six
