Hi,
*Note: the slope-intercept form of an equation for a line is y = mx + b
where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (value of y where the line crosses the y axis
.
x=+%283%2F2%29y-3
.
solving for y
x+%2B+3+=+%283%2F2%29y
.
%283%2F2%29y+=+x+%2B+3+
.
3y+=+2x+%2B+6+
.
y+=+%282%2F3%29x+%2B+2+
.
slope = (2/3) and line crosses y axis at (0,2)
