To find the slope and the y-intercept of the equation \( 4x - 3y = 12 \), we can rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form, which is \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.
Starting with the equation:
\[ 4x - 3y = 12 \]
- Solve for \( y \):
\[ -3y = -4x + 12 \]
\[ y = \frac{4}{3}x - 4 \]
From this, we can identify:
- The slope (\( m \)) is \( \frac{4}{3} \).
- The y-intercept (\( b \)) is \( -4 \), which corresponds to the point (0, -4).
Thus, the correct response is:
The slope is \( \frac{4}{3} \), and the y-intercept is (0, -4).
