Question

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line.

2x - 3y = -6
Select one:
A. slope: - ; y-intercept: -2
B. slope: - ; y-intercept: 2
C. slope: ; y-intercept: 2
D. slope: ; y-intercept: -2
Clear my choice

Answer 1

choose choice c: slope is (2/3) and y-intercept is 2

Explanation:

2x - 3y = -6

Convert this equation to Slope-Intercept form.

2x - 3y - 2x = -6 - 2x

-3y = -6 - 2x

Divide both sides by -3

y = (-6 - 2x)/ (-3)

y = 2 + 2x/3

slope is (2/3) and y-intercept is 2
