Question

Write the following equation in slope-intercept form. . . 3x - 2y = 5 . . . . y = -3/2 x - 5/2 . y = 3/2 x - 5/2. y = -3/2x + 5/2

Answer 1

y = 3/2 x - 5/2.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Writing any equation in slope-intercept form means keeping the "y" along in one side of the equation. The equation given in the question is
3x - 2y = 5
Subtracting 3x from both sides of the equation, we get
- 2y = 5 - 3x
Now, dividing both sides by - 2 we get
y = (-5/2) + (3/2)x
= 3/2 x - 5/2
The correct option is the second option that is given in the question.
