Question

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying allfractions.2y – 3x18

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Given the expression 2y -3x = 18

Adding +3x to both sides:

2y = 3x + 18

Dividing both sides by 2:

y = (3/2)x + 18/2

Simplifying:

y = (3/2)x + 9 [SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM]

Hence, we have the slope-intercept form :

`y=mx+b`

where m=slope=(3/2) and b=y-intercept=9
