the slope = m = 9/5
Step-by-step explanation:
equation: 9x-5y = 4
The above equation is a linear function.
It is in the form: y = mx + c
m =slope
c = intercept
Rewritting the given equation in the linear form:
9x = 4 + 5y
9x - 4 = 5y
5y = 9x - 4
divide through by 5:
y = (9x -4)/5
y = 9x/5 - 4/5
comparing the above equation wwith the linear form:
mx = x(9/5)
m = 9/5
c = -4/5
Hence, the slope = m = 9/5
