-6x+y=-4 find the slope and y-intercept
The slope intercept form of a line is:
y=mx+b where m = slope and (0,b) = y-intercept
So...solve the equations for y:
-6x%2By=-4
add 6x to both sides of the equation.
6x-6x%2By=6x-4
y=6x-4
The 6 is in the m spot...it is the slope.
The -4 is in the b spot...it is the y coordinate of the y-intercept. (0,-4)
Happy Calculating!!!
