The y-intercept, b, is the value of y when x = 0. In this equation, the y-intercept is 4.
The slope, m, is the coefficient of x. In this equation, the slope is -5/3.
To graph the linear equation, first plot the y-intercept on the y-axis. In this case, the y-intercept is 4, so plot the point (0, 4).
Next, use the slope to find a second point. The slope is -5/3, which means for every increase of 1 in x, the y-coordinate decreases by 5/3. Starting from the y-intercept (0, 4), move 1 unit to the right and 5/3 units downward to find the next point.
To continue the line, you can repeat this process to find more points or use a straightedge to connect the two plotted points.
Identify the slope and y intercept. Then, graph the linear equation.
y = -5/3x + 4
