Question

In the following equation, what would be the best first step if you wanted to put it in Slope Intercept Form?

\large -3x+2y=14

a
Divide by 2 on both sides
b
Subtract 3x on both sides
c
Divide by -3 on both sides
d
Add 3x on both sides

Answer 1

d.

Explanation:

Add 3x to both sides

Answer 2

d

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

given

- 3x + 2y = 14

step 1 : add 3x to both sides

2y = 3x + 14

step 2 : divide through by 2

y =
`(3)/(2)` x + 7 ← in slope- intercept form
