5=-9y
Variable y cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by y.
-9y=5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
y=\frac{5}{-9}
Divide both sides by -9.
y=-\frac{5}{9}
Fraction \frac{5}{-9} can be rewritten as -\frac{5}{9} by extracting the negative sign.
