Question

What is the best first step to write this linear equation in slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx+b$

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

According to the statement we have the following equation:

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

To write the equation of the slope-intersection form we must add$\frac {2} {3} x$to both sides of the equation:

$y- \frac {2} {3} x +\frac {2} {3} x = \frac {2} {3} x+4\\y = \frac {2} {3} x+4$

Answer:

The correct option is option C
