The slope is #10/6#.

Explanation:

In this case, it is quite simple to find the slope of the equation since the equation is already in slope-intercept form. What is slope-intercept form?

#y=color(red)mx+color(blue)b#
where #color(red)m# and #color(blue)b# are both real numbers.

#color(red)m# = slope, and
#color(blue)b# = the #y#-coordinate of the #y#-intercept (in other words, the line intercepts the #y#-axis at the point #(0,color(blue)b)# )

You can now see that the equation in the question is already in this format.

#y=color(red)10/color(red)6x+color(blue)10#

Therefore, m (the slope) is #color(red)10/color(red)6#.
