Find the slope of the line $5x + 2y + 9 = 0$.
don't use dollar signs in your answer, this means you are copying this question from somewhere, i will answer your question, because why not??
Use the slope-intercept form y=mx+b to find the slope m.
m=−5/2
Hope this helps, whymenotsmart!
For the general form of straight line(ax + by + c = 0), the slope is equal to -a/b.
Now substitute a = 5, b = 2.
