$slope=3/2$
$x=16/9$
$y=-8/3$

$"general line equation is given as " y=color(red)(m)*x+n$

$m:slope$

$9x-6y=16$

$6y=9x-16$

$y=9/6x-16/6$

$y=color(red)(9/6) x-16/6$

$slope=9/6=3/2$

$"intercepts:"$

$"for x intercept : y=0"$

$0=9/6x-16/6$

$9/6x=16/6$

$x=16/9$

$"for y intercept x=0"$

$y=9/6*0-16/6$

$y=-16/6$

$y=-8/3$

What is the slope and intercept of 9x-6y=169x-6y=16?
