Question

For the given equation determine the slope and y-intercept of the line algebraically.

Answer 1

-4x = 9y - 5

Answer 2

You have to put this in slope-intercept form.

-9y = 4x - 5
9y = -4x + 5
y = -4/9x + 5/9

y = mx + b

That is the slope intercept form, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

So, -4/9 is the slope, and 5/9 is the y-intercept. :)
