9x-y=5 Start with the given equation.


-y=5-9x Subtract 9x from both sides.


-y=-9x%2B5 Rearrange the terms.


y=%28-9x%2B5%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate y.


y=%28%28-9%29%2F%28-1%29%29x%2B%285%29%2F%28-1%29 Break up the fraction.


y=9x-5 Reduce.


So the equation y=9x-5 is now in slope intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=9 and the y-intercept is b=-5 note: the y-intercept is the point
