To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x.
9x+%2B+2y+=+49
9x=49
x=49%2F9
(49%2F9,0)
To find the y-intercept, set x=0 and solve for y.
9x+%2B+2y+=+49+
2y=49
y=49%2F2
(0,49%2F2)

To find the slope, convert to slope intercept form, y=mx%2Bb
9x+%2B+2y+=+49+
2y=-9x%2B49
y=-%289%2F2%29x%2B49%2F2
highlight%28m=-%289%2F2%29%29
