y=4/9x-20
.
is in "slope-intercept" form of a line:
y = mx + b
where
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept at (0,b)
.
So, your equation:
y=4/9x-20
can be grouped to make it look like the "slope-intercept" form:
y = (4/9)x + (-20)
From inspection then, we have:
slope is 4/9
and the
y-intercept is at (0, -20)

Hi
Find the slope and y-intercept of the line in the given equation y=4/9x-20

y = (4/9)x-20 |slope= 4/9 and y-intercept is Pt(0,-20)
