Question:medium
The slope of the straight line \( \frac{x}{10} - \frac{y}{4} = 3 \) is:
The slope of the straight line \( \frac{x}{10} - \frac{y}{4} = 3 \) is:
Show Hint
For any equation in intercept form $\frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1$, the slope is always $-b/a$. In this problem, after adjusting the right side to 1, you can apply this ratio directly for a 5-second solution.
