Explanation: The equation that the problem gave you was written in slope-intercept form.
Slope-intercept form: Y=mx+b
What the variables mean in slope-intercept form: Y = the y axis M = the slope X = the x axis B = the point on the line that intercepts the y axis (this is called the y-intercept)
Now knowing this, it’s clear that 7/9 in the equation is the M variable. Because the M variable represents the slope, 7/9 is therefore the slope of the line
