To find the slope, find how much y changes in proportion to x. Here, when x changes by 1, y changes by -2/3. So, the number before x is -2/3.
To find the y-intercept, we need to find what y will be when x is 0. Since we know that when x is 1, y is 16/3, and when x decreases by 1, y increases by 2/3. So, when x is 0, y is 16/3 + 2/3, which is 18/3, or 6.
