Chapter 8, Problem 33SGR

To determine

To state: The slope and the y-intercept of the graph

Answer to Problem 33SGR

The slope is $-\frac{4}{3}$ and the y intercept is 0.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $y=-\frac{4}{3}x$

Formula used:

The general form of equation of line in slope intercept form is

  $y=mx+b$

Calculation:

Consider the equation: $y=-\frac{4}{3}x$

The general form of equation of line in slope intercept form is:

  $y=mx+b$

Here, m represents slope intercept and b stands for y intercept.

Hence, the equation $y=-\frac{4}{3}x+0$ is written in the form of $y=mx+b$

Therefore, the slope is $-\frac{4}{3}$ and the y intercept is 0.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the slope is $-\frac{4}{3}$ and the y intercept is 0.
