To find the slope, we need to rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m represents the slope.
9x - 3y = 15
To isolate the y-term, we need to move the 9x to the other side:
-3y = -9x + 15
To solve for y, we divide both sides by -3:
y = (9/3)x - 15/3
Simplifying further:
y = 3x - 5
From this equation, we can observe that the coefficient of x (3) represents the slope of the line.
Therefore, the slope is 3.
