Question

-6.4x + 3.5y = 7? what is the slope

Answer 1

6.4/3.5, OR about 1.83

First job is to isolate the y.

3.5y=6.4x+7

Now divide both sides by 3.5 to get the equation into y=mx+b form.

That leaves a rounded equation of y=1.83x+2

In y=mx+b, the m is the slope. This means the slope of this line is 1.83, or 6.4/3.5
