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.
Answer:
x=1/256

797,100 deaths x
---------------------------------- = -------------------------
350,000,000 people 100,000 people
or:
797,100 deaths x
--------------------------- = -----------------
3500 people 1 people
Result: 228 deaths per 100,000 people
