the slope-intercept form is: y=mx%2Bb where m is a slope and b is a y-intercept

the slope m and y-intercept b of y-1=%28-2%2F3%29x} will be:

y-1=%28-2%2F3%29x}..solve for y
y=%28-2%2F3%29x%2B1}.....the slope-intercept form
so, m=%28-2%2F3%29 and b=1
negative slope shows us that a graph goes through II and IV quadrant, and b=1 shows us that a graph intercepts y-axis at y=1
