Okay so your slope is going to be -9 because that is the rise over run for that equation. 5 is you y-intercept.

Answer:

The correct option is 2. The slope of the equation is -9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

[tex]y=-9x+5[/tex]             ..... (1)

The slope intercept form of a line is

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]              .... (2)

Where, m is the slope and b is y-intercept.

On comparing (1) and (2), we get

[tex]m=-9[/tex]

and

[tex]b=5[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the equation is -9 and y-intercept is (0,5). Option 2 is correct.
