Question

Find the slope of the line whose equation is px - qy = r + 1

Answer 1

If you can get it into the form:
y = (something)x + (somethingelse)
your slope will be whatever "something" is
because it will be in slope intercept form: y = mx + b

Answer 2

Solve the equation for y. Then, then coefficient of x is the slope.

Answer 3

px - qy = r + 1

=> qy = px - (r+1)
=> y = px/q - (r+1)/q = slope*x + c

=> Slope = p/q.
