Question

find the slope of the line.
-5x - 6y = 1

select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
a. the slope is \\(\square\\). (simplify your answer.)
b. the slope is undefined.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the y-term

$-6y = 5x + 1$

Step2: Solve for y (slope-intercept form)

$y = -\frac{5}{6}x - \frac{1}{6}$

Step3: Identify the slope

The coefficient of $x$ is the slope.

Answer:

A. The slope is $-\frac{5}{6}$ (Simplify your answer.)
