howdy! hope youre having a great day :)

(the answer is at the bottom of all this text.)

To find the sum of the y-intercept and the slope of the linear equation 6x - 9y = 3, follow these steps:

rearrange the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):

-9y = -6x + 3

solve for y by dividing both sides by -9:

y = (-6x + 3) / -9

simplify the equation:

y = (2/3)x - (1/3)

now, the equation is in slope-intercept form, where the slope (m) is 2/3, and the y-intercept (b) is -1/3.

to find the sum of the y-intercept and the slope:

b + m = (-1/3) + (2/3) = 1/3

so, the sum of the y-intercept and the slope is 1/3.
