Staircase: the equation 57x-95y=0 to represent the relationship between the height of each step y and the depth of each step x. What is the slope of staircase?

Question

I have to summarize my question so its wording is not clear. I know the answer is 3/5 but don't know the solution.

Answer 1

When the equation is in the form y=mx+b, the ”m” is the slope.

So, solve for y, simplify the m fraction and you’ll see the slope you want.
