For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:


y = mx+b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

According to the statement we have the following equation:


y- \frac {2} {3} x = 4

To write the equation of the slope-intersection form we must add
\frac {2} {3} xto both sides of the equation:


y- \frac {2} {3} x +\frac {2} {3} x = \frac {2} {3} x+4\\y = \frac {2} {3} x+4

Answer:

The correct option is option C
