Verified Answer :

y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yintercept

given
slope=2/3=m
yintercept=9=b

y=2/3x+9

Answer:

\(y=\frac{2}{3}x+9\)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can describe a line using the following equation :

\(y=ax+b\)

Where ''a'' and ''b'' are real numbers.

In the equation, the number ''a'' is the slope of the line. If we want a line with slope \(\frac{2}{3}\) ⇒

\(y=\frac{2}{3}x+b\)

The intersection of a line with the y-axis can be calculated replacing \(x=0\) in the equation ⇒

\(y=(\frac{2}{3}).(0)+b\\y=b\)

The interception is the real number ''b''. We want that interception to be 9

⇒

\(y=\frac{2}{3}x+9\) is the equation of the line with slope \(\frac{2}{3}\) and that intersects the y-axis at the point \((0,9)\)
