Find the slope Intercept form for the lie satisfying the following condition for x-intercept 2, y-intercept 2/3
Standard form of equation for a straight line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
**
2 given points: (2,0) and (0,2/3)
slope=∆y/∆x=(2/3-0)/(0-2)=(2/3)/-2=-2/6=-1/3
equation:
y=-x/3+b
y=-x/3+2/3
