Do you mean 6x-7y=10? If so, we will first rearrange the equation so that it is in y=mx+b form. To do this, we need to isolate for "y".
-7y=-6x+10 <-- We subtract 6x from both sides. This looks a little bit more like the form we are used to!
To make things easier, we'll multiply each side by (-1) to get rid of the negatives in front of "x" and "y".
7y=6x-10 <-- Remember the (-1) is applied to the 10 as well.
y=(6/7)x-(10/7) <--We divide both sides by 7 to isolate for "y". Again, remember that the 7 is applied to the 10.
Now we can see that the slope (m) is (6/7), and, we have the equation of the line too!

What is the slope of a line that lies perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1 5?
The line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1/5 has a slope of -5.
When the slope of a line is indefinite?
The slope of a line is undefined if the line is vertical.
Given a line with a slope of 1 7 what is the slope of any line that lies perpendicular to it?
The slope of a line perpendicular to one with slope m is -1/m. So for a line with slope 1/7, any line perpendicular to it will have: slope = -1 / (1/7) = -7
What slope does vertical line have?
A vertical line has a slope of infinity.
What is the slope of a line that is parallel to a horizontal line?
Well since the lines are parallel they would have the same slope. And the slope of any horizontal line is 0. The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
What is the difference between a line with a slope of zero and no slope?
A line with slope of zero is horizontal. A line with no slope is vertical because slope is undefined on a vertical line.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line whose slope is 3?
Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m
What is the slope of a line that lies perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1 5?
The line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1/5 has a slope of -5.
What do you need to use the point slope formula?
The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular?
If the line has a slope of 2, then the perpendicular line has a slope of -1/2. The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal. Another example would be if the slope of a line is -1/4, then the slope of the perpendicular is 4.
If the slope of the green line is -3 what is the slope of the red line?
The lines below are perpendicular. If the slope of the green line is -1, what is the slope of the red line?
The slope of a line is 2 3 what is the slope of a line that is parallel to it?
if the slope of a line is 2/3, then the slope of a parallel line would be 2/3.
If the slope of a line is 13 what is the slope of a line parallel to it?
Parallel lines have the same slope. The slope of the second line is also 13.
A horizontal line has an undefined slope?
No, the slope of a horizontal line is 0. The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
What is the slope of a line parallel to a line with slope -2?
For two lines to be parallel they must have the same slope. A line parallel to a line with slope -2 would have a slope of -2.
The slope of a line measures what?
The slope of a line measures the steepness of the line.
When the slope of a line is indefinite?
The slope of a line is undefined if the line is vertical.
