-4x-3y=6 [re-write in the slope-intercept form by solving for y]
-3y=4x+6
y=-4/3x-2
.
y=mx+b [slope-intercept form of a line]
y=any y value of the line
m=the slope of the line
x=any corresponding x value of the line
b=the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis at point (0,b)]
.
y= -4/3x-2
Slope=m=-4/3
y-intercept = b=-2
.
