Answer:
-1/5
y=-1/5 x-8
-1/5 is the slope
Step-by-step explanation:
-1/5
Formula- y=mx+b
The slope-intercept form is
y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
y=mx+b
Rewrite in slope-intercept form.
Simplify the left side
Simplify each term.
Combine 1/8 and x.
x/9+5y/8=-5
Subtract x/8 from both sides of the equation.
5y/8=-5-x/8
Multiply both sides of the equation by8/5.
8/5.5y/8=8/5(-5-x/8)
Simplify both sides of the equation.
Simplify the left side.
Simplify 8/5.5y/8
y=-x/5-8
y=-1/5 x-8
