find the slope intercept for the line satisfying the following conditions x intercept 2, y intercept 2/3. How do you show the work?
equation of line: y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept
you have 2 points to work with: x-intercept(2,0), and y-intercept (0,2/3)
slope=∆y/∆x=(2/3-0)/(0-2)=(2/3)/-2=2/-6=-1/3
equation: y=-x/3+2/3
