Question 123550: Find the slope and y-intercept.
6x – 9y = –72

6x – 9y = –72

The slope intercept form is y=mx+b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept


So, we need to turn this to a slope intercept form.



6x-9y=-72
6x-6x-9y=-6x-72
0-9y=-6x-72
-9y=-6x-72
9y=6x+72





or

SO, m= and b=-8
Therefore, the slope(m) is 2/3 and the y-intercept is -8
