Question

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the graph of y+1=4/3x.

What is the slope and the y-intercept?

Answer 1

Slope = 4/3x; y-intercept = -1

Explanation:

y + 1 = 4/3x

You have to write this equation in slope-intercept form (solve for y) if you want to find the slope and y-intercept

y + 1 = 4/3x

Subtract one from both sides

y + 1 - 1 = 4/3x - 1

y = 4/3x - 1

Now that we have the equation, you can now find the slope and y-intercept

y = mx + b; m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

So for y = 4/3x - 1, the slope is 4/3x and the y-intercept is -1
