Solution:

Note that:

  • Slope =
    (2)/(3)
  • Given point: (-6, 2)
  • b = y-intercept

To find b, first, we need to identify the standard equation.


  • y - y_(1) = m(x - x_(1) )
  • =>
    y - 2 = (2)/(3) \{(x - (-6)\}
  • =>
    y - 2 = (2)/(3) \{x + 6\}
  • =>
    y - 2 = (2x)/(3) + (12)/(3)
  • =>
    y = (2x)/(3) + 4 + 2

  • y = (2x)/(3) + 6

Now, let's compare the formula with the equation.


  • (y = mx + b) = (y = (2x)/(3) + 6)
  • =>
    b = 6

The value of b is 6.

Answer:

y = 2x/3 +6

Explanation:

using the formula y=mx+b .........where m is the slope, b is the is the point, where the line intersects the y axis

y = 2/3 x + 6
