Question

If you don’t know how to solve this equation, please skip my question and answer someone else’s question(s). Using either slope-intercept form, y = mx + b or point-slope form y - y1 = m (x - x1), solve the equation 2y = -3x + 6.

I know that the answer is y = -3/2x + 3, but I got y = 3/2x + 3 and I don’t know what I did wrong. Assignment is due in 2 hours!!

Answer 1

You were close; you don’t have to add 3x to the right side though.

We’re given 2y= -3x + 6

Step one: divide both sides by 2

y= (-3/2)x + 3
