find the slope and y-intercept of the graph of this graph 6y=-8x-18

Answer 1

The slope would be 4\3 and the y-intercept would be -3. You can figure this out by putting the equation in y=mx+b form

Answer 2

@MathStudent33 is close...

Like he said you can solve this equation for 'y' and you can see the slope and y-intercept...so lets do that...

\[\large 6y = -8x -18\]

To make this just y = something....we divide both sides of this equation by 6...

\[\large \frac{6y}{6} = \frac{-8x}{6} -\frac{18}{6}\]

So now we have

\[\large y = -\frac{8}{6}x - 3\]

Which yes can be simplified into

\[\large y = -\frac{4}{3}x - 3\]

So your slope is -4/3 and y-intercept is -3

*Just forgot the minus sign*

Aww man I was close but thanks for the correction @johnweldon1993 and actually *she
