Question 224281: y=-2/3x-12
Answer by drj(1380)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! y=-2x/3-12
I assume you want to plot the line. It takes two points to plot the point.
Step 1. Let x=0, then y=-12. So one point is (0,-12).
Step 2. Let y=0, then or  . So the other point is (-18,0)
Also note that the above line is given as slope-intercept form given as y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept when x=0 or at point (0,b). For the above example, the slope m=-2/3 and b=-12 or at point (0,-12).
I hope the above steps and explanation were helpful.
