Question

What is the slope of `y=2/3x-1`?

Answer 1

slope `=2/3`

Explanation:

The equation of a line in `color(blue)"slope-intercept form"` is

`color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(y=mx+b)color(white)(a/a)|)))`
where m represents the slope and b, the y-intercept.

The equation here `y=2/3x-1" is in this form"`

and by comparison of the 2 equations `m=2/3`

Thus the slope of this line is `2/3`
