Question

Identify the slope and y intercepts of the equation and graph the line. Y = 2/3x-5

Answer 1

The equation is given

$y=\frac{2}{3}x-5$

Compare the equation given with the general equation

$y=mx+c$

So the slope of the equation is

$m=\frac{2}{3}$

And for y-intercept susbtitute x=0.

$y=-5$

Hence the slope is 2/3 and y -intercept is -5.

The graph of the line is
