Hi,

find the x intercept, if any, and y intercept, if any, of the line, use the intercepts 

to sketch a graph of the line and find the slope of the line.

4x - 3y = -24 |y-intercept is (0,8) and x-intercept is (-6,0)



Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b  where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.  

4x - 3y = -24  OR y = (4/3)x + 8

Note: as y increases by 4, x increases by 3.
