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

Solution:

Given equation is 5y = x - 3,

Divide the equation through out by 5

⇒ y = (1/5)x - 3, which is of the form y = mx + c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept of the line.

Thus the slope of the required line is 1/5.

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

Summary:

The slope of the line whose equation is 5y = x - 3 is 1/5.
