Question 66009This question is from textbook Beginning Algebra
: Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line rerpresented by each of the following equation.
2x - 3y = 6
I am not sure how to find the y-intercept of this equation. I barley concept finding the slope. Could you help exlpain and show me how to find the slope and the y-intercept of this equation. Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.This question is from textbook Beginning Algebra

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line rerpresented by each of the following equation.
2x - 3y = 6
The slope intercept form of a line is: highlight%28y=mx%2Bb%29, where m=slope and (0,b)=y-intercept.
2x-2x-3y=-2x%2B6
-3y=-2x%2B6
-3y%2F-3=-2x%2F-3%2B6%2F-3
y=%282%2F3%29x-2
The slope, m=2/3
the y-intercept, (0,b)=(0,-2)
Happy Calculating!!!
