find slope 2x-20y+18=0
I've been braking my head and I just can't find the solution. Can you please help me. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you so very much. I now it's m= something, but I don't know what the answer is. Thanks, again!

STD Form: 2X - 20Y = -18.
m = -A/B = -2/-20 = 1/10.
Of course, I'd be happy to help you find the slope of the given equation.
To find the slope of a linear equation in the form y = mx + b, or in this case 2x - 20y + 18 = 0, we need to rewrite it in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b.
Let's begin by isolating the term with y. Subtract 2x and 18 from both sides of the equation:
-20y = -2x - 18
Next, divide the entire equation by -20 to solve for y:
y = (-2x - 18) / -20
Now, simplify the equation further:
y = (1/10)x + (9/10)
Comparing this equation with y = mx + b, we can determine that the slope (m) of the given equation is 1/10.
Therefore, the slope of the equation 2x - 20y + 18 = 0 is 1/10.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
