Put in the formula y = mx + b. Then m will be slope.
9y = 5x + 8
Divide by 9:
y = 5/9x + 8/9.
Slope = 5/9.

make y the subject
y=5x/9+8/9
the coefficient of x gives you the slope, which is 5/9

put in the form
y=mx+b
solve for y
9y=5x+8
y=(5x+8)/9
y=5/9x +8/9
now m=slope so m=5/9

slope form equation
y =mx +c-------------------------------- 1
9y = 8 +5x
y = (5/9) x + 8/9
comparing with the equation 1
m= 5/9
slope = 5/9
