Slope is $\frac{2}{3}$ $2/3$ , y-intercept at $(0, 4)$ $(0,4)$ , x-intercept at $(- 6, 0)$ $(-6,0)$

Explanation:

$2 x - 3 y = - 12 or 3 y = 2 x + 12 or y = \frac{2}{3} x + 4$ $2x -3y = -12 or 3y = 2x + 12 or y= 2/3 x +4$

Comparing with standard equation $y = m x + c$ $y = mx + c$ we get

slope as $m = \frac{2}{3}$ $m=2/3$ , y-intercept as $c = 4$ $c=4$ i.e at $(0, 4)$ $(0,4)$

x-intercept can be found by putting $y = 0$ $y=0$ in the equation as

$2 x = - 12 or x = - 6$ $2x= -12 or x= -6$ i.e at $(- 6, 0)$ $(-6,0)$
Slope is $\frac{2}{3}$ $2/3$ , y-intercept at $(0, 4)$ $(0,4)$ , x-intercept at $(- 6, 0)$ $(-6,0)$
