To find the slope and y-intercept, write your equation in the form y = mx + b, where m = the slope and b = y-intercept.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "9y = -15x - 27\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = (-15x - 27)/9\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = (-5/3)(x) - 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The slope is (-5/3) and the y-intercept is -3.\r
