Question

Put the following equation of a line into slope-intercept form, simplifying al

fractions.
2y - 3x = 18

Answer 1

Explanation:

Simplifying

2y + -3x = 18

Reorder the terms:

-3x + 2y = 18

Solving

-3x + 2y = 18

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.

-3x + 2y + -2y = 18 + -2y

Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0

-3x + 0 = 18 + -2y

-3x = 18 + -2y

Divide each side by '-3'.

x = -6 + 0.6666666667y

Simplifying

x = -6 + 0.6666666667y
