Answer:

Slope of 3y-9x=9 is 3

Slope of x+3y=-6 is -1/3

Explanation:

First, convert each of the two equations into the form y = mx + c.

Next, to determine the slope of the graph, find the value of m (m represents the gradient of the graphs)

Equation 3y - 9x = 9:

Rewrite equation: 3y = 9x + 9

y = 3x + 3

m = 3

gradient/slope = 3

Equation x + 3y = -6:

Rewrite equation: 3y = - x - 6

y = -1/3x - 2

m = -1/3

gradient/slope = -1/3
