Identify the slope and y intercept. Then, graph the linear equation.

y= - 5/3 x + 4

1 answer

The slope of the equation y = -5/3x + 4 is -5/3 and the y-intercept is 4.

To graph the equation, we start by plotting the y-intercept, which is the point (0, 4).

From this point, we use the slope to find the next point. The slope -5/3 tells us to go down 5 units and to the right 3 units.

So, from (0, 4), we go down 5 units to the point (3, -1).

We can then draw a straight line passing through these two points to graph the linear equation.

The graph of y = -5/3x + 4 is a downward sloping line that passes through the points (0, 4) and (3, -1).
