Question: 1 / 410

If the equation of the line is 6x - 4y = 10, what is the slope?

-3/2

-2/3

To find the slope of a linear equation, we can rearrange it into slope-intercept form of y=mx+b, where m is the slope.

Therefore, in the given equation, we first need to isolate the y variable by moving the 6x to the right side of the equation and then dividing both sides by -4.

This results in the equation y = (3/2)x - (5/2).

Hence, the slope of the line is 3/2. The correct option is B.

For the other options

A: -3/2 - This is the negative of the correct slope and is incorrect.

C: 2/3 - This is the inverse of the correct slope and is also incorrect.

D: 3/2 - This is the reciprocal of the correct slope and is also incorrect.
