Question 507555: y= -2/3x-12
What is the slope and y-intercept of the line and how do you know?
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Notice how is in slope-intercept form where m is the slope and (0, b) is the y-intercept.

So this shows us that the slope is and the y-intercept is (0, -12) (since b = -12)

Let me know if you need more help or if you need me to explain a step in more detail.
