Question

Write the following equation in slope-intercept form.

3x - 2y = 5

Answer 1

Well, slope-intercept form is y=mx+b.
So we want to isolate the "y" value. To do this, you must move the 2y to the other side, which makes it positive.

3x = 5 +2y

Now, move the 5 over to make it negative.

3x - 5 = 2y

We want to get 'y' alone, so divide ALL terms by 2:

3/2x - 5/2 = y

Therefore, the answer is:

\[y = \frac{ 3 }{ 2 }x - \frac{ 5 }{ 2}\]
