Question

Identify the slope and y-intercept (if they exist)

5x - 9y = -1

What is the slope?
What is the y-intercept?

Answer 1

The slope is 5/9 and the y intercept is 1/9 (basically this ->) (0, 1/9)

5x - 9y = -1
Move to make it y = mx+b
-9y = 5x -1
Then divide everything by -9
-9/9 = -1
5/9 cannot be simplified anymore and is the slope.
-1/9

Answer 2

slope : 5/9

y int : 1/9

(I think..)

Explanation:

5x - 9y = -1

-5x. -5x

-9y = -5x - 1

(divide by -9)

y = 5/9x + 1/9
