Question

GIven the equation LaTeX: y=\frac{2}{3}x-1y = 2 /3 x − 1, determine the slope of the line.

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the equation is:   $m=\frac{2}{3}x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

$y=\frac{2}{3}x-1$

As the equation in slope intercept form

$\:y=mx+b$

Here:

• m = slope

• b = y - intercept

Comparing the equation in slope intercept form

$y=\frac{2}{3}x-1$

so

$m=\frac{2}{3}x$

Therefore, the slope of the equation is:   $m=\frac{2}{3}x$
