y = - 2/3x - 1 in slope-intercept form y= mx+b.

where slope m = -2/3 and the y-intercept is -1

The equation is 2/3x + y = -1.

Graphing the line equation in slope intercept form:

Step1:

Solve y to write the equation in slope-intercept form.

2/3x + y = -1

Subtract 2/3x from each side.

2/3x + y - 2/3 x = -1 - 2/3x

y = - 1 - 2/3 x

y = (-2/3)x - 1

Step2:

The y-intercept of y = (-2/3)x - 1 is -1.

So, graph (0, -1).

Step3:

The slope is -2/3 = rise/run. From (0, -1), move down 2 units and right 3 units.

Draw a dot.

Step4:

Draw a line containing the points.
