Answer:
slope = -1/3
y-intercept = 4
x-intercept = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
slope intercept form is
y = mx + b
m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
----------------------
rearrange into slope intercept form
1.5x + 4.5y = 18
subtract 1.5x from both sides
4.5y = -1.5x + 18
Divide both sides by 4.5
y = (-1/3)x + 4
------------------------
Slope
m = -1/3
---------------------
y-intecept
b = 4
---------------------
x intercept
this is where y = 0
0= (-1/3)x + 4
add (1/3)x to both sides
(1/3)x = 4
Multiply both sides by 3
x = 12
