Answer

y = (2x/3) - 3

Slope = (2/3)

Intercept = -3

Step-by-step explanation

The slope and y-intercept form of the equation of a straight line is given as

y = mx + b

where

y = y-coordinate of a point on the line.

m = slope of the line.

x = x-coordinate of the point on the line whose y-coordinate is y.

b = y-intercept of the line.

So, we will just put the given equation in the general form

-2x + 3y = -9

3y = 2x - 9

Divide through by 3

(3y/3) = (2x/3) - (9/3)

y = (2x/3) - 3

Hope this Helps!!!
