Can someone help me.

I need to solve for y=mx+b
My problem is 2y-3x=10 can you give me steps to help me understand how to solve for the slope and y-intercept.

Answer slope is 3/2 and y intercept is 5

The first thing is to change the standard form equation to y intercept form y = mx + b

2y =3x + 10

Then divide all numbers by 2 to solve for y

2/2y = 3/2x + 10/2
Simplify

y = 3/2x +5

the coefficient (number next to x) is your slope and the constant is your y intercept

slope is 3/2
y intercept is 5
