start with 2x - 3y = 5 add 3y to each side, 2x - 3y + 3y = 5 + 3y :: 2x = 5 + 3y subtract 5 from each side, 2x - 5 = 5 - 5 + 3y :: 2x - 5 = 3y divide each side by 3, (2x - 5)/3 = (3y)/3 :: (2/3)x - (5/3) = y the slope is the coefficient of "x" when the equation takes the form y = mx +b Therefore, the slope of the line is 2/3, approximately 0.667
