Hi,         

Note: the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is y = mx + b

  where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.  

2x-3y=-12   |Solving for y to put into the slope-intercept form

 y = (2/3)x + 4

slope m = 2/3 and the y-intercept is Pt(0,4)

 Pt(-3,2) and pt(3,6) also on the line according to the slope
