Find the slope and the y-intercept of the equation 4x + 5y = -9.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For standard equation of line : \(ax + by = c\), Slope is given as : \[Slope = -\frac{\text{Coefficient of x}}{\text{Coefficient of y}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For that equation I have given above : \[Slope = \frac{-a}{b}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And y-intercept you can find by equating \(x=0\)..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my answer is -a/b ?
