Find the Slope 5x-3y+9=0

$5 x - 3 y + 9 = 0$

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.

$y = m x + b$

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $5 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 3 y + 9 = - 5 x$

Subtract $9$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 3 y = - 5 x - 9$

Divide each term in $- 3 y = - 5 x - 9$ by $- 3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 3 y = - 5 x - 9$ by $- 3$ .

$\frac{- 3 y}{- 3} = \frac{- 5 x}{- 3} + \frac{- 9}{- 3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 3 y}{- 3} = \frac{- 5 x}{- 3} + \frac{- 9}{- 3}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{- 5 x}{- 3} + \frac{- 9}{- 3}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$y = \frac{(5) x}{3} + \frac{- 9}{- 3}$

Divide $- 9$ by $- 3$ .

$y = \frac{5 x}{3} + 3$

Reorder terms.

$y = \frac{5}{3} x + 3$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $\frac{5}{3}$ .

$m = \frac{5}{3}$
