What's the slope and the y intercept of this problem 2x+9=-18
---------
2x+9=-18
x = -27/2
change in x = 0 --> slope is undefined
That's the slope of the graph of the equation, not the slope of the problem.
--------------
2x+9=-18 is an equation, not a problem.
------
It's important to ask the right question.
