Note:

Your first question is missing the y-intercept, so I am solving the 2nd question. You would still get your concept clear because the procedure to solve each of the questions is the same.

Question 2

Answer:

The equation in the standard form is:

  • 2/3x + y = -4

Please also check the attached graph.

Explanation:

We know that the equation in the standard form is

Ax + By = C

where x and y are variables and A, B and C are constants

Given

  • Slope m = -2/3
  • y-intercept = -4

To determine

  • Write the equation in the standard form

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation


y = mx+b

where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

In our case:

  • Slope m = -2/3
  • y-intercept = -4

substituting m = -2/3 and y-intercept b = -4 in the slope-intercept of the line equation

y = mx+b

y = -2/3x + (-4)

y = -2/3x - 4

Writing the equation in the standard form

2/3x + y = -4

Therefore, the equation in the standard form is:

  • 2/3x + y = -4

Please also check the attached graph.
