–2x + 3y = -6 can someone please put this in slope intercept form for me. I need help. I keep getting xy

Question

campbell_st · Answer

start by adding 2x to both sides, .... what do you get..?

anonymous · Answer

3y=2x-6
y=(2x-6)/3
y=2/3x-6/3
y=2/3x-2

anonymous · Answer

I got 3y= -4x

campbell_st · Answer

ok... lets start again, 

do it this way, add 2 x to both sides

-2x + 3y =        -6
+2x            +2x
-----------------
         3y  = 2x - 6

notice that the 2x and 6 are not alike... so that can't be added or subtracted. 

the last step is to divide both sides by 3

can you do that..?

I got y=2x-2.......

campbell_st · Answer

nearly

when you divide 2 by 3 you get 2/3 

so the solution is  

y = 2/3 x - 2

the slope is 2/3  and the y-intercept is y = -2

hope it helps
