What is the slope of a line given by the equation y = 2/3x-2/5? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope 1 Answer Jade Dec 22, 2016 #y = 2/3x-2/5# is in the standard form of a line, which is: #y=mx+b# Where #m# is the slope and #b# is the y-intercept So, in this equation, #m=2/3# which means that the slope is #2/3# Answer link Related questions What is Slope?
