Answer for Day 28 Math Problem

2 🎯

Solution

There is no need for a solution, unless you want to complicate things by using differential calculus (like what @paulactico2 mentioned) to get the slope of the line. 😆

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form (SIF) is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Unless the equation of the line is not in SIF and instead is in general form (ax + by + c = 0), standard form (ax + by = c), intercept form (x/a + y/b = 1), etc., there is absolutely no need to do anything to the equation to get the slope of the line represented by the equation.

This is the last Math problem of the February 2021 Math mini-contest for D.Buzz! I intentionally made this very easy (for people competent in Math) to avoid making another complicated (and possibly with minor error) solution! 😅
