Question

The line 3x-2y=12 has

a) a slope of 3/2 and a y intercept of -6
b) a slope of -3/2 and a y intercept of 6
c) a slope of 3 and a y intercept of -2
d) a slope of -3 and a y intercept of -6

Answer 1

i think the answer is either a or b!

Answer 2

why dont you try rearranging your equation such that you get it in the form y = mx + b

Answer 3

ok lets see.....first you have to add -2y on both sides?

Answer 4

no, you are trying to remove -2y from the left hand side. so you add +2y to both sides so that your LHS becomes 3x-2y+2y -----> 3x+0

Answer 5

2y=3x-12
then divide them with 2
y=3/2 x -6
a

Answer 6

y=mx+c
c = y intercept
m = slope
y=3/2 x -6
y = m x + c
clear?
m=3/2 , c =-6
