Explanation:
#"the equation of a line in "color(blue)"slope-intercept form"# is.
#•color(white)(x)y=mx+b#
#"where m is the slope and b the y-intercept"#
#"rearrange "2x-3y=12" into this form"#
#"subtract 2x from both sides"#
#rArr-3y=-2x+12#
#"divide all terms by "-3#
#rArry=2/3x-4larrcolor(blue)"in slope-intercept form"#
#"with slope "=2/3" and y-intercept "=-4#
