Answer:

b/a

Step-by-step explanation:

ax+by=c

To find the slope solve for y

by = -ax+c

Divide by b

y = -a/b x + c/b

The slope intercept form is y = mx+b where m is the slope

The slope is -a/b

A perpendicular line has a slope that is the negative reciprocal

-1/ (-a/b)

-1 * -b/a

b/a

Y=Mx+B what would m be
PIT_PIT [208]
M would represent the slope. for example if your equation was y=5x+9, 5 is your slope and 9 is the y intercept
