Question

1) 3x − 2y = 8 2) 3x + 4y = −20 Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of each line. SHOW WORK

Answer 1

1)

`y = (3)/(2)x - 4`

2)

`y = -(3)/(4)x - 5`

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form of the equation of a line: y = mx + b

In each case, solve the equation for y.

1)

3x - 2y = 8

-2y = -3x + 8

`y = (3)/(2)x - 4`

2)

3x + 4y = -20

4y = -3x - 20

`y = -(3)/(4)x - 5`
