What is the slope of $2 = - 120 y + 12 x$ $2=-120y+12x$ ?

Slope: $\frac{1}{10}$ $1/10$

Explanation:

The slope of the general standard linear equation:
$XXX A x + B y = C$ $color(white)("XXX")Ax+By=C$
is $(- \frac{A}{B})$ $(-A/B)$

$2 = - 120 y + 12 x$ $2= -120y+12x$
is equivalent to
$12 x - 120 y = 2$ $12x-120y=2$

So its slope is $(- \frac{12}{- 120}) = \frac{1}{10}$ $(- 12/(-120)) = 1/10$
