Or would it be 3 because the problem is in that form but the x and y are in different positions. I get a little confused with this. If you could be of some assistance I would appreciate it. And I believe the y intercept would be (0,3)? Or am I totally off. Thanks for your help! \n" ); document.write( "

document.write( "Hi,
\n" );
document.write( "Find the slope and y intercept of line 4x = 3y + 9 
\n" );
document.write( "Yes! putting it in the slope intercept form  y = mx + b is exactly right!proceed. 
\n" );
document.write( "Solving for y
\n" );
document.write( "3y  + 9 = 4x
\n" );
document.write( "3y = 4x - 9
\n" );
document.write( "y = (4/3)x - 3
\n" );
document.write( "m = (4/3)  the slope
\n" );
document.write( "b = 3   line crosses the y axis at (0,-3)
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
