The slope is 2/3 and the y-intercept is 0 (putting in slope-intercept form, y = 2/3x).
So graph the line starting at y = 0 with slope 2/3

You solve for y to get the form y = mx + b. m is the slope and b is your y intercept . This equation will look like y=2/3x + 0. So to graph this you start at y = 0 and x =0 since this is your intercept (b=0).The slope will be 2/3 or (rise over run) so you go up two and over three and connect the two points of the origin (0,0) and y=2 and x=3.

y=2/3x +0 is what you get when you rearrange the equation. The slope is in the m place of y=mx+b. The zero is in the b or y-intercept spot of the equation. It is the y-intercept which means y passes through the y-axis where x=0.

you desire to rewrite this in slope intercept kind: y = mx + b the place m equals the slope and b equals the y-intercept. y = -4x + 8 Now you recognize the slope = -4 And the y-intercept = (0,8) you are able to now unquestionably graph this equation employing purely those 2 products of recommendations. Mark a element at (0,8) and then go down 4 factors and over (suitable) a million and make yet another dot, then from there go down 4 factors and over (suitable) a million and make yet another dot. Now line up those 3 dots and draw your line, and additionally you have graphed this equation employing its y-intercept and slope! Have a sturdy day!

y - (2/3)x = 0
First: isolate "y" on one side > add (2/3)x to both sides...
y - (2/3)x + (2/3)x = 0 + (2/3)x
y = (2/3)x
Sec: the slope is the fraction/whole number beside the "x" variable...in this case the slope is 2/3
Third: the y-intercept is the fraction/number after the "x" variable..in this case there is no y-intercept
slope = 2/3
y-int = none

simple. you just add (2/3 x) to both sides, to get
y = (2/3)x.
and I can't graph it for you, but it would look like a normal line centered at the origin with a slope a little bit more flat than the standard line y = x
