Recall that the slope formula is y=mx+b (m is the slope)

You need to first get y by itself, to do that you subtract 9x on both sides of the equation

9x+7y=10 subtract 9x to the left side where it will cancel it because you're adding a positive to a negative number that are the same, then you subtract 9x to the right side of the equation

when you do that you should get: 7y= -9x+10

Now you divide 7 on both sides

you then should get: y= -9/7x-10/7

You can subtract the 2x to make it -y=-2x-2 and add the x to make it -2y=x+4. for elimination method multiply the equation (-2)-y=-2x-2. Hope this helps. You can also do substitution method

(5,9), (5-3) what is the slope?

monitta

Answer:

Hello!!! Princess Sakura here ^^

Step-by-step explanation:

When you want to find out what the slope is, you have to remember what the formula is first....

$m=\frac{y}{x} =\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

so in this case -3 would be the $y_{2}$ because it's the y in the ordered pair and it's the second one. Then one of the 5's would be $x_{2}$ and 9 would be $y_{1}$ and then the other 5 would be $x_{1}$ .
