Question

The slope of the line represented by the equation 2(x - 3) - 6y = 10 is equal to what?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line is;

2(x - 3) - 6y = 10

Placing the line in slope intercept form we get;

6y = 2x - 6 - 10

6y = 2x - 16

Dividing throughout by 6 we get;

y = $\frac{2}{6}$x - $\frac{16}{6}$

Simplifying gives;

y = $\frac{1}{3} x +2 \frac{2}{3}$

So the slope of this line = $\frac{1}{3}$
