Answer:

-2/3 is the y intercept

Explanation:

So to find the y-intercept you must first put this in Slope-intercept form, I believe the form it is in right now is called standard form.

To get it into slope intercept form, we have to isolate y:

subtract 2x from both sides:

-3y = -2x + 2

Divide both sides by -3:

y = (2/3)x - 2/3

Now that we have slope-intercept form, we can find the y-intercept. We know slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In this case the y-intercept is -2/3.

Hope this helps!
