Question

Find the slope of the line: 3x-2y=6

Answer 1

3/2

Explanation:

I got this answer by putting it in the form y=mx+b

Step 1: Subtract 3x from each side

-2y = -3x+6

Step 2: Divide each side by -2

y = 3/2x -3

The slope is 3/2 and the y intercept is -3 because m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Answer 2

slope = 3/2

Explanation:

3x-2y=6

Get this equation in the form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Subtract 3x from each side

3x-3x-2y=-3x+6

-2y = -3x+6

Divide each side by -2

-2y/-2 = -3x/-2 +6/-2

y = 3/2x -3

The slope is 3/2 and the y intercept is -3
