Answer:

D. 2/5

Explanation:

The slope is the x-coefficient when the equation is solved for y.

2x -5y = 9 . . . . . . . given

-5y = -2x +9 . . . . . .subtract 2x

y = (-2/-5)x +9/(-5) . . . . divide by -5

y = 2/5x -9/5

The coefficient of x is 2/5. That is the slope of the line.

The slope is 2/5.
