Find the Slope 4x+y=9

$4 x + y = 9$

Step 1

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Subtract $4 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$y = 9 - 4 x$

Reorder $9$ and $- 4 x$ .

$y = - 4 x + 9$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $- 4$ .

$m = - 4$
