graph 9y=−8x+12. is it a positive slope?
Just isolate y! Since the slope-point formula is y = mx + b, looking at your m determines if it's negative or positive! You can always graph the equation to check, but it's usually easier to look at the formula.
9y=-8x+12 // Divide y by 9.y= -8/9x+12It is NOT a positive slope, because -8/9x is negative.
