2x-3y=6
find the slope and the y-intercept for the equation
a. slope
b. y intercept
The slope intercept form of a line is:y=mx%2Bb where m=slope and (0,b)=y-intercept
2x-3y=6
-2x+2x-3y=-2x+6
-3y=-2x+6
-3y%2F-3=%28-2%2F-3%29x%2B6%2F-3
y=%282%2F3%29x-2
a. slope y=highlight%282%2F3%29x-2, m=2/3
b. y intercept y=%282%2F3%29x%2Bhighlight%28-2%29, (0,b)=-2
