Answer 1

To find the slope of the graph of the equation 9x - 3y = 15, we need to rearrange the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m represents the slope.

9x - 3y = 15

First, subtract 9x from both sides:

-3y = -9x + 15

Next, divide both sides by -3 to isolate y:

y = (9/3)x - 5

Simplifying further:

y = 3x - 5

From the equation above, we can see that the slope is 3.
