lets hope this is written correctly
:
y=%282%2F3%29x%2B2 this equation is already in slope intercept form y=mx+b where b is the y intercept. The y intercept in this equation is highlight%28y=2%29 in ordered pair form that would be (0,2)
:
the x intercept is found when y=0.......so plug in 0 for y ....
:
0=2/3x+2..multiply terms by 3------>0=2x+6---subt -6 from both sides
:
2x=-6
:
highlight%28x=-3%29x intercept in ordered pair form (-3,0)
