Answer:

y= -1.5x-6

Explanation:

In order to turn this equation into y=mx+b form, we need to move x to the other side.

Step 1 : Minus 3x on each side, leaving the equation into 2y=-12-3x

Step 2 : Now that we have everything on the right side, divide the equation by 2.

Step 3 : After dividing -12 and -3x, we are left with -6 and -1.5x (or -1/2x) which leaves us with y=-1.5x (OR -1/2x) - 6.

Hey there! :)

Answer:

y = -3/2x - 6

Explanation:

Begin by isolating the 'y' variable:

3x + 2y = -12

Subtract both sides by 3x:

2y = -3x - 12

Divide both sides by 2:

y = -3/2x - 6

Therefore, the equation in y = mx + b form is:

y = -3/2x - 6
