Question

what is the slope of the line x+5y=9?

Answer 1

in order to find out the slope of your equation you must follow the steps:
5y = -x + 9 ; y = -1/5 * x + 9/5 . now your slope is -1/5.

Answer 2

put it in the form of y=mx+b where m is the slope

Answer 3

I have the equation I need the slope.

Answer 4

so you must rewrite your equation in order to get the slope as MATTW20 said.

Answer 5

the slope can be find when you have this form : y = mx + n . for your equation is: y = -1/5 *x + 9/5. m = -1/5 is the slope.

Answer 6

got it?
