Answer

\(\boxed{\text{The graph of the line } y=-\frac{2}{3}x+4 \text{ is a straight line that intersects the y-axis at 4 and has a slope of -2/3. This means that for every 3 units we move to the right along the x-axis, we move 2 units down along the y-axis.}}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The given equation is in the form of y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Here, m = -2/3 and b = 4.

Step 2 :We start by plotting the y-intercept (0,4) on the graph.

Step 3 :Then, we use the slope to find another point on the line. The slope is -2/3, which means we go down 2 units and to the right 3 units from the y-intercept.

Step 4 :By connecting these points, we get the graph of the line \(y=-\frac{2}{3}x+4\).

Step 5 :\(\boxed{\text{The graph of the line } y=-\frac{2}{3}x+4 \text{ is a straight line that intersects the y-axis at 4 and has a slope of -2/3. This means that for every 3 units we move to the right along the x-axis, we move 2 units down along the y-axis.}}\)
