Question 123550
<html>
<body bgcolor="forest green">
<center>6x – 9y = –72</center>
The slope intercept form is y=mx+b
where <u><b>m</b> is the slope</u> and <u><b>b</b> is the y-intercept</u>
<hr>
So, we need to turn this to a slope intercept form.
<hr>
<center>
6x-9y=-72
6x-6x-9y=-6x-72
0-9y=-6x-72
-9y=-6x-72
9y=6x+72
{{{y=(6x-72)/9}}}
{{{y=6x/9-72/9}}}
{{{y=2x/3-8}}}
<hr>
<align right>or</align right>
<center>{{{y=(2/3)x+(-8)}}}</center>
SO, m={{{2/3}}} and b=-8
Therefore, the slope(m) is 2/3 and the y-intercept is -8
