Find the Slope 9x-y=9

$9 x - y = 9$

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 $9 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$- y = 9 - 9 x$

Divide each term in $- y = 9 - 9 x$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- y = 9 - 9 x$ by $- 1$ .

$\frac{- y}{- 1} = \frac{9}{- 1} + \frac{- 9 x}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{y}{1} = \frac{9}{- 1} + \frac{- 9 x}{- 1}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{9}{- 1} + \frac{- 9 x}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Divide $9$ by $- 1$ .

$y = - 9 + \frac{- 9 x}{- 1}$

Move the negative one from the denominator of $\frac{- 9 x}{- 1}$ .

$y = - 9 - 1 \cdot (- 9 x)$

Rewrite $- 1 \cdot (- 9 x)$ as $- (- 9 x)$ .

$y = - 9 - (- 9 x)$

Multiply $- 9$ by $- 1$ .

$y = - 9 + 9 x$

Reorder $- 9$ and $9 x$ .

$y = 9 x - 9$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $9$ .

$m = 9$
