Answer:

The slope is 13/9 and the y intercept is -3

Explanation:

The slope intercept form of an equation is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

13x -9y = 27

Subtract 13x from each side

13x -9y -13x =-13x+ 27

-9y = -13x+27

Divide each side by -9

-9y/-9 = -13x/-9 + 27/-9

y = 13/9 x -3

The slope is 13/9 and the y intercept is -3
