Given the equation:
y = 5/3x - 4
Determine the slope and the y-intercept.
Explanation:
The given equation is in slope-intercept form, which is in the form,
y = mx + b
where m = slope
The slope-intercept form is only the same as the y-intercept, therefore we can already conclude that we have the y-intercept. Hence for the slope of the equation, we look at the value of m which is in our case is 5/3, therefore m = 5/3
Final answer:
y-intercept:y = 5/3x - 4
slope: m = 5/3
