    2/3 - 4 2 12 1

    Step-by-step explanation:

    For the line ax+by=c, solving for y gives ...

    y = (-a/b) x + c/b

    The slope in this slope-intercept form is the coefficient of x, - a/b. The y-intercept is c/b.

    a) For the first line, the slope is ...

    -a/b = - (-2) / 3 = 2/3

    __

    b) For the second line, the slope is ...

    -a/b = - 4/1 = - 4

    __

    c) The y-intercept of the first line is ...

    c/b = 6/3 = 2

    __

    d) The y-intercept of the second line is ...

    c/b = 12/1 = 12

    __

    e) The slopes of the lines are different, so there is one (1) solution.
