Answer:

slope = 10

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

20x - 2y = 9 ( subtract 20x from both sides )

- 2y = - 20x + 9 ( divide terms by - 2 )

y = 10x -
(9)/(2) ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 10
