Question

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

Answer 1

By = - Ax - C

A C
y = - --- x - ----
B B

so slope = -A/B

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

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

Answer 8

*It's Numerator

Answer 9

That it is :)
