Answer:

y = 6x-4

Explanation:

3x - 1/2 y =2

We need to solve for y to get the equation in slope intercept form

Subtract 3x from each side

3x-3x - 1/2 y =-3x+2

-1/2 y = -3x+2

Multiply each side by -2

-2*-1/2 y = -2*(-3x+2)

y = -2*(-3x+2)

Distribute

y = 6x-4

The slope is 6 and the y intercept (where it crosses the y axis) is -4
