slope
Explanation:
The equation of a line in
#color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is
#color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(y=mx+b)color(white)(a/a)|))#
where m represents the slope and b, the y-intercept.The advantage of having the equation in this form is that the values of m and b can be extracted 'easily'.
If we arrange x = 11y into this form , then we can obtain the slope.
hence x = 11y is the same as 11y = x
dividing both sides by 11
#rArr(cancel(11)^1 y)/cancel(11)^1=1/11x→y=1/11x#
thus m (slope)
graph{1/11x [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
