Question

Identify the slope and y-intercept of the following equation: 2x-3y=12. Clearly label them in your response.

Answer 1

Answer:

First, we must convert this equation into slope-intercept form.

$2x - 3y = 12\\\\-3y = 2x + 12\\\\y = -\frac{2}{3}x - 4$

In answer to your question, we now have our equation in slope-intercept form to be able to answer it.

m (or slope) = $-\frac{2}{3}$

b (or y-intercept) = -4
