#"slope "=3/5#

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.

#y=3/5x-9" is in this form"#

and by comparison of the 2 equations we see the slope is.

#m=3/5#
