2x+3y=9
2x+3y=9
-2x -2x
3y=-2x+9
divide by three on both sides
y=-2/3x+3
so the slope is -2/3 and the y intercept is 3

First set it up in slope intercept form y = mx + b , where theslope is m, and the y intercept is b
Solve for y:
3y = 9 -2x
y = ( 9 2 x ) / 3 now write in slope intercept form
y = 9 2 x 3 = 9 3 2 x 3 = 3 2 x 3 now arrange terms
y = 2 3 x + 3 now its set up in the form y = mx + b, just interpret the result
So the slope is 2 3 , and the y intercept is 3
