Solution:
Express the equation in the form y = mx + b where m is equal to the slope and b is equal to the y-intercept.
-6x - 9y = 13
- 9y = 6x + 13
Divide both sides by -9
The slope of the line is
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello. To find the slope, first, the equation needs to be set up in the form y = mx + b. To do this, first add 6x to both sides of the equation, giving us
-9y = 6x + 13
Next, divide both sides of the equation by -9, giving us:
