Answer
Success!
Slope = -0.5

↓Steps Explained:↓

What is the slope (gradient) of

5y-9x+6y+3x-7-8

Get Eq. 1 into y = mx + b format:

3x + 6y - 8 = 0

6y = -3x + 8

Divide each side by 6

6y
6
=
  
-3x + 8
6

Simplifying, we have:

y = -0.5x + 1.3333333333333

Final Answer

Slope = -0.5

Calculate the y intercept of our line

The y intercept is found by
Setting x = 0 in

y=-0.5(0)+1.3333333333333

y-intercept = 0+1.3333333333333

y-intercept = +1.3333333333333
