Question

What is the slope of a line whose equation is 5y + 6 x - 2 =0

Answer 1

5y= -6x+2
5y/5 =-6x/5 +2/5
y = -1.2x +0.4

the slope is -1.2 and y intercept is 0.4

Answer 2

5y+6x-2=0 ---------------Original Equation

2+5y+6x-2=0+2 --------Add 2 on both sides of the equal sign

5y+6x=2

6x-5y+6x=2-6x----------Subtract 6x on both sides of the equal sign

5/5y= -6x+2/5-------------Divide by 5 on both sides of the equal sign

y= -6/5x+2/5

So the slope would be -6/5.
