Question

How do I identify the slope and y-intercept of this equation 9x-5y=35?

Answer 1

you have to get y by itself and go from there..

my school doesn't start 'til tues. so i'm not wasting my brain cells.

good luck.  

Answer 2

y intercept = (0,-7)

the slope(gradient)= 0.2

Answer 3

I did this last year. K for y intercept you set x equal to 0 and solve. Sooo...

9(0)-5y=35.

9 cancels out

-5y=35

Divide by -5 to each side, you get -7.

So that would be (0,7) for the Y intercept.

I am not sure for the slope. Its like here in my head but I cant think of it! Sorry

Answer 4

First you have to get the equation in slope intercept form

y=mx+b

SO:  y=9/5x+7

so slope is 9/5 and the y intercept is 7
