Answer:

(0, -6) and (8, 0)


(4)/(3)


y=(3)/(4)-6

Explanation:

(a)
3x-4y=24

Let
x=0


0-4y=24\\\Rightarrow y=-6

Let
y=0


3x-0=24\\\Rightarrow x=8

Two coordinates are (0, -6) and (8, 0)

(b) Slope is given by


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)\\\Rightarrow m=(0-(-6))/(8-0)\\\Rightarrow m=(3)/(4)

The slope of the equation is
(4)/(3)

(c)


3x-4y=24\\\Rightarrow 4y=3x-24\\\Rightarrow y=(3)/(4)-6

The slope intercept form of the equation is
y=(3)/(4)-6
