What is the slope and y-intercept for the line represented by this equation? 5x+13y = - 13

In y = mx + b form, the slope will be in the m position and the y int will be in the b position. So, we need to put the equation in y = mx + b form.

5x + 13y = - 13 ... subtract 5x from both sides

13y = - 5x - 13 ... now divide both sides by 13

y = (-5/13) x - 13/13

y = (-5/13) x - 1

so the slope is - 5/13 and the y int is - 1
