b=4, m=3b=4,m=3

Explanation:

The intercept and slope are already given. This equation is in the form y=mx+by=mx+b, where bb is the y-intercept (0,4) and mm is the slope, 33.

Slope: 33
Y-Intercept: (4,0)(4,0)
X-Intercept: (0,-4/3)(0,43)

Explanation:

You should be armed with the knowledge what the slope-intercept form is. It is y=mx+by=mx+b. mm stands for the slope, and bb stands for the y-intercept. So, seeing from the equation, y=3x+4y=3x+4, 3 is the slope and (4,0)(4,0) is the y-intercept. To find the x-intercept, you have to plug 0 in for yy and just solve for xx. Then, you should have 0=3x+40=3x+4. You subtract 44 to isolate the variable. Lastly, you divide 33 to get -4/343. The x-intercept is (0,-4/3)(0,43)
