Question

Find the slope of the line whose equation is px - qy = r. q/p p/q -r/q

Answer 1

Px - qy = r
-qy = -px + r
y = (-p/-q)x + (r/-q)
y = p/qx - r/q

ur slope is p/q

Answer 2

Answer:

The slope is equal to

$m=\frac{p}{q}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$px-qy=r$

Isolate the variable y

Subtract $px$ both sides

$px-qy-px=r-px$

$-qy=r-px$

Divide by $q$ both sides

$-y=(r-px)/q$

Multiply by $-1$ both sides

$y=(px-r)/q$

$y=\frac{p}{q}x-\frac{r}{q}$ ------> linear equation into slope-intercept form

the slope is equal to

$m=\frac{p}{q}$

The y-intercept is equal to

$b=-\frac{r}{q}$
