Positive, fractional y-intercept, negative slope: Find the general equation of the line with y-intercept = 4/3 and slope = -2/5.
We can use the definition of the y-intercept: x is 0 at the y-intercept, or the point (0, 4/3) is on the graph.
We can use the point-slope equation of the line:
, or in general form,
