Question

Determine the slope and y-intercept from the following equations: y= 3/2x+3

Answer 1

The form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

The given equation is

`y=(3)/(2)x+3`

Compare it with the form above to find m and b

`m=(3)/(2)`
`b=3`

The slope is 3/2 and the y-intercept is (0, 3)
