Question

Find the slope and y intercept for the given line.

3 x + 2 y = 7

m = __________
y -intercept __________ Find the slope and y intercept for the given line.

3 x + 2 y = 7

m = __________
y -intercept __________ @Mathematics

Answer 1

solve for y and your coefficient for x is your slope, and the constant will be the y intercept.

\[y=(-3/2)x+7/2\]

-3/2=m
7/2=y-intercept

Answer 2

Oh Ok. Can you help me with another?

Answer 3

Input the equation of the given line in standard form.The line with m = -3/4 and b = -2

Answer 4

Yeah

Answer 5

y=(-3/4)x-2

Answer 6

I assume the standard form you mean is y=mx+b

Answer 7

Yeah I think so... No I think it is Ax+By=c

Answer 8

sorry, I was having a connection issue...

ok, you want to start with the y=mx+b for I gave you above

\[y=(-3/4)x-2\]
then multiply 4 by both sides
4y=-3x-8
then add 3x to both sides
3x+4y=-8

Answer 9

Thank-you so much,

Answer 10

you are welcome :)

Answer 11

Find the slope of the following line.

y - 3 = 0

m = Is this o,3?

Answer 12

this is a line at y=3. your slope is going to be 0.

Answer 13

Then I was close?

Answer 14

one way to think of it is if you solve it for y
y=0+3

0,3 is a coordinate, and your question asked for a slope



Anyway, I'm terrible at drawing on this thing apparently, but the graph is what you are looking at. the top line is at y=3 and as you can see it is horizontal... a horizontal line has a slope of 0.

Answer 15

So then y=3

Answer 16

OR m=3

Answer 17

y=3
m=0
your question asked for the slope. If we go back to the info you were given and put it in the form y=mx+b you get

y=0x+3

Answer 18

Ok, Hey I have another one I got the answer but am unsure.

Find the slope of the following line.

3 y + 2 x = 1

m = -2/3x

Answer 19

almost... m=-2/3

the x is the x-coordinate, and is not part of the slope

Answer 20

Thanks...

Find the slope of the following line.

2 x - 1 = 0

m = ( I put undefined) Not sure why it's wrong

Answer 21

your slope should be 2. anytime you see a coefficient for x, that should tip you off that that number is your slope.

The equation for this line is y=2x-1.

Setting y to 0 (as was done here) you solve for x to find that x=1/2

In other words you have a line defined by y=2x-1 and it passes through the point (1/2,0)

Answer 22

Oh that makes sense.

Answer 23

It says that I am wrong.

Answer 24

It says that 2 is not the slope?

Answer 25

Yeah it does... I do school work online. And it is really hard to do it without a teacher.

Answer 26

I hear ya. I'm not sure why it is telling you that. The answer I gave you is the correct slope. Just flat out, once you get a problem down to y=mx+b form, the m is going to be your slope.

Answer 27

Well, Ok here is another one.

Find the slope of the following line. Leave answers in fractional form.

3 x - 2 y = 4

Answer 28

I really don't where to start.

Answer 29

let's let you try it first... the hint is that you want to solve it for y.

Answer 30

Ok

So 2y = -3x + 4/2

Answer 31

so what would be the first thing you might want to get rid of to get y by itself? It's going to take at least 2 steps to do it.
