Find the Slope y-9=15(x-5)

$y - 9 = 15 (x - 5)$

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.

$y = m x + b$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify $15 (x - 5)$ .

Apply the distributive property.

$y - 9 = 15 x + 15 \cdot - 5$

Multiply $15$ by $- 5$ .

$y - 9 = 15 x - 75$

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

Add $9$ to both sides of the equation.

$y = 15 x - 75 + 9$

Add $- 75$ and $9$ .

$y = 15 x - 66$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $15$ .

$m = 15$
