find the slope and the y intercept of the line whose equation is given. y=2/3x+7
.
The "slope-intercept" form of a line is:
y = mx + b
where
m is the slope
and
b is the y-intercept at (0,b)
.
Your equation:
y=2/3x+7
y = (2/3)x + 7
Notice this is already in the "slope-intercept" form
So, from inspection we have
the slope is 2/3
and
the y-intercept is at (0,7)
