Question

How do you find the slope and intercept of `4x - 1/3y = -2`?

Answer 1

See explanation.

Explanation:

To find slope and `Y` intercept you have to write the linear function in a form

`y=ax+b`

Here you get:

`4x-1/3y=-2`

`-1/3y=-4x-2`

`y=12x+6`

When the function is in the form `y=ax+b` we can write that:

• the slope is `a`,

• the `Y` intercept is point `(0,b)`

In the given function we have:

• slope `a=12`

• `Y` intercept is `(0,6)`
