What is the slope (gradient) of
3x-5y=1
Get Eq. 1 into y = mx + b format:
3x - 5y = 1
-5y = -3x + 1
Divide each side by -5
| -5y |
| -5 |
| = |
| -3x + 1 |
| -5 |
Simplifying, we have:
y = 0.6x - 0.2
Final Answer
Slope = 0.6
Calculate the y intercept of our line
The y intercept is found by
Setting x = 0 in
y=0.6(0)-0.2
y-intercept = 0-0.2
y-intercept = -0.2

How does the 2 Lines Intersection Calculator work?
Free 2 Lines Intersection Calculator - Enter any 2 line equations, and the calculator will determine the following:
* Are the lines parallel?
* Are the lines perpendicular
* Do the lines intersect at some point, and if so, which point?
* Is the system of equations dependent, independent, or inconsistent
This calculator has 2 inputs.

What 3 formulas are used for the 2 Lines Intersection Calculator?
Lines are parallel when they have the same slope.
Lines are perpendicular when they have slopes which are negative reciprocals.
For a line y = mx + b, m is the slope
Lines are perpendicular when they have slopes which are negative reciprocals.
For a line y = mx + b, m is the slope
