Question

Write the following equation in slope-intercept form.
3x - 2y=5

Answer 1

y = 3/2x -5/2

Explanation:

Slope intercept form is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

3x- 2y = 5

Solve for y

Subtract 3x from each side

3x -3x- 2y =-3x+ 5

-2y = -3x+5

Divide by -2

-2y/-2 = -3x/-2 +5/-2

y = 3/2x -5/2
