how do i find "b" in slope intercept form?

Question

Y= 2/-3 * x + 6

 

Answer 1

the b for the formula y=mx+b of the equation y=2/3*x + 6 is b=6.  That's the y-intercept.

Answer 2

y-intercept form is:  y = mx + b

 

given:  y = (-2/3)x + 6 

 

 

so, m = -2/3 and b = 6

 

so y-intercept is (0, 6)
