Question

Identify the slope and y intercepts of the equation and graph the line. Y = 2/3x-5

Answer 1

The equation is given

`y=(2)/(3)x-5`

Compare the equation given with the general equation

`y=mx+c`

So the slope of the equation is

`m=(2)/(3)`

And for y-intercept susbtitute x=0.

`y=-5`

Hence the slope is 2/3 and y -intercept is -5.

The graph of the line is
