Answer:
the slope is 3/4
the y-intercept is 4
Explanation:
You want the slope and y-intercept of the line defined by the equation 3x -4y = -16.
Slope-intercept form
The values of interest can be found easily from the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line. Solving for y puts the equation in that form.
3x -4y = -16 . . . . . . given
-4y = -3x -16 . . . . . subtract 3x
y = 3/4x +4 . . . . . . divide by -4
Compare this to the slope-intercept form equation:
y = mx + b . . . . . . . line with slope m and y-intercept b
We see that ...
m = 3/4, b = 4
The slope is 3/4
The y-intercept is 4
