Question

Identify the slope and intercept of the following linear equation y=3/4x-2

Answer 1

$y= \frac 3 4 x-2$

That's in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, so the slope, the m, is the coefficient on x, namely

$\dfrac 3 4$

and the y intercept is the constant term, here

$-2$

Answer 2

$y = \frac{3}{4} x - 2 \\ 2 = \frac{3}{4}x - y \\ 1 = \frac{3}{4 \times 2} x - \frac{y}{2} \\ \frac{x}{ \frac{8}{3} } - \frac{y}{2} = 1$

So x intercept is 8/3

Hope it helps...
