PLEASE HELP!!!

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the equation 4x + 5y = -9.

A. slope = `4/5` and y-intercept = `-(9)/(5)`
B. slope = `-(4)/(5)` and y-intercept = `(9)/(5)`
C. slope = `-(4)/(5)` and y-intercept = `-(9)/(5)`
D. slope = `(4)/(5)` and y-intercept = `9/5`

Answer:

-4/5 is the slope and -9/5 is the y intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+5y = -9

Subtract 4x from each side

4x-4x+5y =-4x -9

5y = -4x -9

Divide by 5

5y/5 = -4x/5 -9/5

y = -4/5 x -9/5

This is in slope intercept form  y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

-4/5 is the slope and -9/5 is the y intercept

Answer:

-4/5 is the slope and -9/5 is the y intercept
