Find the Slope and Y-Intersection of a Line that has the following equation.

3Y = 2X - 8

3 answers

divide by 3 to put in standard form.
slope is the coefficient of x.
y intercept is when x is zero.
We can simplify the equation by dividing it by 3 to have:
y = (2/3)x - 8/3.

From the general equation of a line:
y = mx + b

where m is the slope.

So, from the equation we can clearly see that the slope (m) = 2/3

To find the y-intercept, we need to set x = 0 from the equation. So we have a y-intercept = 8/3
-5x-21=-22 2/2
