How do I find the slope of the line in simple form?
4x+5y=3
use a two step process
1. take all terms except the y term to the right side
4x + 5y = 3 ----> 5y = -4x + 3
2. divide each term by the coefficient of the y term
5y = -4x + 3
y = (-4/5)x + 3/5
now you have it in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope, so
the slope is -4/5
