In standard form, slope is always the negative of the x coefficient over the y coefficient.
If you dont want to have that memorized, you can use algebra to get the equation of the line into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)
Set it equal to y
2x - 5y = 6
2x = 5y + 6
2x - 6 = 5y
(2/5)x - 6/5 = y
Now it is in slope intercept form. In slope intercept form, the coefficient multiplying with x is the slope of the line. Therefore, the slope equals 2/5.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a=19
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to distribute the parenthesis; multiply (a+5) by 1/3
8=1/3*a+1/3*5
Now we just solve the equation regularly
8=1/3a+5/3
8-5/3=1/3a
6 1/3=1/3a
a=19
