Slope: $\frac{1}{5}$ $1/5$

Explanation:

The slope of a line in general standard form: $A x + B y = C$ $color(red)(A)x+color(blue)(B)y=C$
is $(- \frac{A}{B})$ $(-color(red)(A)/color(blue)(B))$

$62 = - 30 y + 6 x$ $62=-30y+6x$
is equivalent to $6 x + (- 30) y = 62$ $color(red)(6)x+(color(blue)(-30))y=62$

and therefore has a slope of
$XXX (- \frac{6}{(- 30)})$ $color(white)("XXX")(-(color(red)(6))/color(blue)((-30)))$

$XXX = \frac{1}{5}$ $color(white)("XXX")= 1/5$
