Find the Slope 6x+y=5

$6 x + y = 5$

Step 1

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Subtract $6 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = 5 - 6 x$

Reorder $5$ and $- 6 x$ .

$y = - 6 x + 5$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $- 6$ .

$m = - 6$
