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
