#9y=5x# can be rearranged to give: #y=5/9x + 0#, where #m=5/9# is the gradient and #0# is the y-intercept.

#"slope "=5/9," y-intercept "=0#

Explanation:

#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.

#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(y=mx+b)color(white)(2/2)|)))#
where m represents the slope and b the y-intercept.

#9y=5x" is almost in this form"#

#"divide both sides by 9"#

#(cancel(9) y)/cancel(9)=5/9x#

#rArry=5/9x+0larrcolor(red)" in slope-intercept form"#

#rArr"slope "=9/5" and y-intercept "=0#
