A) slope: $- \frac { 1 } { 2 } ; y$-intercept: $- 9$
B) slope: $- \frac { 1 } { 9 } ; y$-intercept: $- 2$
C) slope: $- 2 ; y$-intercept: $- 9$
D) slope: $- 9 ; y$-intercept: $- 2$
E) slope: $- 2 ; y$-intercept: 9

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation is in slope-intercept form, $y=mx+b$, where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the $y$-intercept. Therefore, the slope is $-2$ and the $y$-intercept is $-9$. The correct answer is $\boxed{	extbf{(C)}}$.
