Question

Which equation represents a line that has a slope of – 2/3 and a y-intercept of 4?

A)
2x + 3y = 12
B)
2x - 3y = 12
C)
3x - 2y = 12
D)
3x + 2y = 12

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b

2x+3y = 12

3y = 12-2x

y = (12-2x)/3

y = 4-2/3x

Here we can see that the slope is -2/3 and y-intercept 4. We already got the answer so we dont need to try the other options.
