Question

Find the slope of the line whose equation is 5y = x - 3.

A.-3
B.-3/5
C.1/5
D.5

Answer 1

The answer is c. 1/5

Answer 2

$\bf 5y=x-3\implies y=\cfrac{x-3}{5}\implies y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{5}}x-\cfrac{3}{5}\impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$
