Write an expression for the slope of a line whose equation is Ax+By+C=0

Question

anonymous · Answer

By = - Ax - C

            A              C
y = -  --- x  -  ----
            B               B

so slope = -A/B

Hey, you do know there is an equation editor, right? It would have made typing that much easier.

anonymous · Answer

For fractions it's not quite as clear when you use the editor so I can see why some folks type it as above.

You just need to look up the LaTex for them. It's pretty much LaTex compatible.

Well let me test it since I'm curious:
$$ \frac{1}{2}$$

Guess you're right :) They need to embed that in the GUI for the site.

Looks like the form is \frac{nominator}{denominator}. Thanks.

*It's Numerator
