Question

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 6y-14x=5

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = $\frac{7}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

rearrange 6y - 14x = 5 into this form

add 14x to both sides

6y = 14x + 5 ( divide all terms by 6 )

y = $\frac{14}{6}$ x + $\frac{5}{6}$ ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = $\frac{7}{3}$ ← in simplest form
