What is the slope and y-intercept of y+1=4/3x

2 Answers

hello

so this equation is written in point slope form:
y-y_(1) = m(x-x_(1))

we can solve for y to get the equation into slope intercept form: y=mx+b

y+1=4/3x

subtract 1 from both sides

y=4/3x-1

slope: 4/3

y-intercept: -1

hope this helps

have a nice day :)

The answer is 4/3 and the y intercept is -1
Explanation
The equation of a line is y=Mx+b so m equals the slope and you minus 1 on all side to isolate y so the y intercept or b is -1
