slope m=23andY -intercept =4

Explanation:

If the equation of the line is ax+by+c=0,then

slope:m=abandY-intercept =cb.

we have,

2x+3y=12

2x+3y12=0a=2,b=3,c=12

So, slope m=23andY -intercept #=-(-12)/3=12/3=

OR
2x+3y=123y=2x+12y=(23)x+123
y=(23)x+4

Comparing with y=mx+c,

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

we get m=23andc=4
