slope =
Explanation:
One form of the equation of a line is y = mx + c , where m represents the gradient (slope) and c , the y-intercept.
Rearrange 2x - 3y = 12 into this form and extract m and c.
hence : - 3y = -2x + 12
divide both sides by - 3
#rArr (cancel(-3)y)/cancel(-3) = (-2x)/(-3) + 12/-3 #
#rArr y = 2/3 x - 4 # thus slope =
#2/3# and y-intercept = -4
