Find the slope and y-intercept of the line `2x - 3y - 4 = 0`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To find the slope and y-intercept of the line given by the equation \(2x - 3y - 4 = 0\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form The slope-intercept form of a line is given by the equation: \[ y = mx + c \] where \(m\) is the slope and \(c\) is the y-intercept. We start with the given equation: \[ 2x - 3y - 4 = 0 \] ### Step 2: Isolate \(y\) To isolate \(y\), we can rearrange the equation: \[ -3y = -2x + 4 \] Now, divide every term by \(-3\): \[ y = \frac{2}{3}x - \frac{4}{3} \] ### Step 3: Identify the slope and y-intercept Now that we have the equation in the form \(y = mx + c\), we can identify the slope and y-intercept: - The slope \(m\) is \(\frac{2}{3}\). - The y-intercept \(c\) is \(-\frac{4}{3}\). ### Final Answer Thus, the slope of the line is \(\frac{2}{3}\) and the y-intercept is \(-\frac{4}{3}\). ---
