pooja195 · Answer

y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept 
This is known as slope intercept form

pooja195 · Answer

Is your equation written like this: 
$$\huge~\rm~\bf~y=\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }x+4$$

heart_offire · Answer

its with a negative in front of the fraction

neonumbrella5115 · Answer

If 4 is where the line hits the y intercept it would be located on the intercept, therefore having a 0 as its x value

pooja195 · Answer

$$\huge~\rm~\bf~y=-\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }x+4$$

heart_offire · Answer

but wouldnt the 0 just factor into the fraction

pooja195 · Answer

y=mx+b
b=y intercept
What is the y intercept in this equation?

heart_offire · Answer

@pooja195 yes thats what it looks like

pooja195 · Answer

Alright what is the y intercept?

neonumbrella5115 · Answer

So the b is equivalent to the y value.  What is the b?  4 or -4

pooja195 · Answer

I'll let @neonumbrella5115 help :-)  don't want to confuse you.

heart_offire · Answer

does the x go in front of the ordered pair or in the back

neonumbrella5115 · Answer

Coordinate pairs are in the form (x,y)

heart_offire · Answer

so it would be A

neonumbrella5115 · Answer

Yes, you are correct!
