$"slope" = -9$

$"intercept" = 27$

$y = 27 - 9x$

Recall the equation of a line;

$y = mx + c$

Where;

$m = "slope"$

$c = "intercept"$

$y = 27 - 9x$

Making it standard by rearranging the equation..

$y = -9x + 27$

Comparing both equations;

$m = -9$

$c = 27$

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