Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 2y + 3x = 24 into this form

Subtract 3x from both sides

2y = - 3x + 24 ( divide all terms by 2 )

y = -
(3)/(2) x + 12 ← in slope- intercept form

Answer:

y=-3/2 x +12

Explanation:

Solve for y.

2y+3x=24

We want 2y by itself so I will subtract 3x on both sides giving:

2y=-3x+24

Now I will divide both sides by 2 giving:

y=-3/2 x+24/2

Simplifying this gives:

y=-3/2 x+12

The slope is -3/2

The y-intercept is 12
