Question

2y - 3x = 8

in slope intercept form ?

Answer 1

what does the slope intercept form look like?

Answer 2

y = mx + b

Answer 3

very good; now what do you think should do first to get this to look like that?

Answer 4

move one of those numbers to become the y ?

Answer 5

yes... lets "move" the -3x over by adding +3x to each side:

2y = 3x+8

now what can we do?

Answer 6

isolate the y ?

Answer 7

yes.. we can do that by "dividing" both sides by 2 right? will that help us?

Answer 8

yes so .

2y = 3x + 8

y = 3x + 4 ?

Answer 9

very close.... I see you divided 8 by 2 = 3; but we also need to divide 3x by 2...the number gets us a fraction.

y = (3/2)x + 4 do you see that?

Answer 10

ack!! 8/2 = 4 not 3 lol

Answer 11

Lol !

so am i getting closer ?

Answer 12

you are :)

does y = (3/2)x + 4 look like:

y = mx + b?

Answer 13

why , yes .
yes it does !

Answer 14

then we are done :)

Answer 15

thank you ! :D

Answer 16

Y = 3/2x + 4
