Question

How do you find the slope and y intercept for `9x - 2y = -1`?

Answer 1

`m=9/2`
Y Intercept `= 1/2`

Explanation:

The given equation is in the general form `ax+by+c = 0`
Solve it to slope intercept form
`-2y = -1-9x`
`y=(-1)/(-2)-9/(-2)x`
`y=(1)/(2)+9/2x`

The co-efficient of `x` is slope of the curve `m=9/2`
The constant term `(1/2)` is Y-intercept
