find slope 2x-20y+18=0
I've been braking my head and I just can't find the solution. Can you please help me. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you so very much. I now it's m= something, but I don't know what the answer is. Thanks, again!

see above
the answer is 1/10.
A linear equation is set up like this:
ax+by=c
where a,b are NOT EQUAL to 0. x and y represents coordinates.
anyhow,
to find the slope in this equation i did the following steps.
1. i made the equation into a correct linear equation so..
2x-20y+18=0
-18 -18
----------------
2x-20y=-18
2. to find the slope its m=-a/b.
so....
2x-20y=-18
ax+by=c --> m=-a/b
m=-2/-20
simplified --> m=1/10
