x=-2/3y+1
x=0(-2/3y)+1
x=1
y=(3x-3)/2
y=(3(0)-3)/2
y=-3/2
y intercept= (0,-3/2)
x intercept= (1,0)
slope= 3/2

x+=+-%282%2F3%29y+%2B+1

Solve for y. Find the x-intercept, y intercept and slope

Solving for y
y++=++-%283%2F2%29x+%2B+%283%2F2%29

To find the x-intercept, we set y = 0
Therefore, x+=+-%282%2F3%29y+%2B+1 gives us x = 1, and
x-intercept is: (1, 0)

To find the y-intercept, we set x = 0
Therefore, y++=++-%283%2F2%29x+%2B+%283%2F2%29 gives us y++=++%283%2F2%29, and
y-intercept is: (0, 3%2F2), OR,
just look at the equation in y = mx + b form, as “b” is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept. Therefore, from the equation, y++=++-%283%2F2%29x+%2B+%283%2F2%29, the y-intercept is: (0, 3%2F2).

The equation, y++=++-%283%2F2%29x+%2B+%283%2F2%29 is in y = mx + b form, and “m,” or
-3%2F2, is the slope.
