Answer:
m = 2/3
b = -3
Explanation:
Rearrange the equation to slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).
x and y are points on the graph.
m is the slope.
b is the y-intercept.
Isolate "y". This means separating it from the other numbers.
-2x +3y = -9
-2x + 2x +3y = -9 + 2x Add 2x to both sides
3y = 2x - 9
3y/3 = 2x/3 - 9/3 Divide both sides by 3
y = 2x/3 - 9/3 Simplify
y = (2/3)x - 3
Think about which numbers and "m" and "b" now that the equation is in y = mx + b. Include the plus and minus signs.
m = 2/3
b = -3
