Question

What is the slope of the line `y=3/5x-9`?

Answer 1

`"slope "=3/5`

Explanation:

The equation of a line in `color(blue)"slope-intercept form"` is.

`color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=mx+b)color(white)(2/2)|)))`
where m represents the slope and b, the y-intercept.

`y=3/5x-9" is in this form"`

and by comparison of the 2 equations we see the slope is.

`m=3/5`
