If the equation is expressed in slope-intercept form:
$y = m x + b$ $y=mx+b$
the slope is $m$ $m$ and the y-intercept is $b$ $b$

$- 5 x + 3 y = - 9$ $-5x+3y = -9$

$\to 3 y = 5 x - 9$ $rarr 3y = 5x-9$

$\to y = \frac{5}{3} x - 3$ $rarr y = 5/3x -3$

The slope is $(\frac{5}{3})$ $(5/3)$ and the y-intercept is $(- 3)$ $(-3)$

How do you find the slope and y intercept for -5x +3y =-9−5x+3y=−9-5x +3y =-9?
