If a linear equation is in the form \(ax+by=c\), where \(b\ne0\), what is its slope?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(-\frac{a}{b}\)

Rewrite \(ax+by=c\) as \(y=-\frac{a}{b}x+\frac{c}{b}\). In \(y=mx+k\), the coefficient of \(x\) is the slope, so it is \(-\frac{a}{b}\). \(\frac{c}{b}\) is the y-intercept, not the slope. Exam tip: compare with slope-intercept form.
