Find the slope and y-intercept of the line.
-$$9 x - 5 y = 7$$
A) slope $= 9 ; y$-intercept $= 7$
B) slope $= \frac { 5 } { 9 } ; y$-intercept $= \frac { 7 } { 9 }$
C) slope $= \frac { 9 } { 5 } ; \mathrm { y } - \mathrm { intercept } = - \frac { 7 } { 5 }$
D) slope $= \frac { 9 } { 5 } ; y$-intercept $= \frac { 7 } { 5 }$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the slope and y-intercept, rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form $y = mx + b$. Solving $9x - 5y = 7$ for $y$, we get $y = \frac{9}{5}x - \frac{7}{5}$. Thus, the slope is $\frac{9}{5}$ and the y-intercept is $-\frac{7}{5}$.
