$slope = - 9$ $"slope" = -9$

$intercept = 27$ $"intercept" = 27$

$y = 27 - 9 x$ $y = 27 - 9x$

Recall the equation of a line;

$y = m x + c$ $y = mx + c$

Where;

$m = slope$ $m = "slope"$

$c = intercept$ $c = "intercept"$

$y = 27 - 9 x$ $y = 27 - 9x$

Making it standard by rearranging the equation..

$y = - 9 x + 27$ $y = -9x + 27$

Comparing both equations;

$m = - 9$ $m = -9$

$c = 27$ $c = 27$

How do you find the slope and y intercept for y=27−9xy=27-9x?
