FIND THE SLOPE.
-2x-9y=-29
put in form
y= mx +b
m is the slope
thanks
no problem
To find the slope of the equation -2x - 9y = -29, we need to rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form, which is in the form of y = mx + b. The value of 'm' in the equation represents the slope.
Let's rearrange the equation:
-2x - 9y = -29
First, let's isolate the variable 'y' by moving the term with 'x' to the other side:
-9y = 2x - 29
Next, divide both sides of the equation by -9 to solve for 'y':
y = (2/9)x + 29/9
Now we can see that the equation is in the form y = mx + b, where m is the slope. Comparing the equation to the standard form, we can identify the slope as 2/9.
Therefore, the slope of the equation -2x - 9y = -29 is 2/9.
