Answer:

Slope: 3/2

Y-intercept: (0,-4)

X-intercept: (8/3 , 0)
Explanation:

To find the y-intercept, I just put in 0 for x.

3(0) - 2y = 8

-2y = 8

y = -4

So, the y-intercept is at (0,-4)

To find the x-intercept, I just put in 0 for y.

3x - 2(0) = 8

3x = 8

x = 8/3

So, the x-intercept is at (8/3, 0)

The slope is 3/2
