Question

change the equation into slope-intercept form i need to know how to do it to finish the others so dont relly need the answer but how to do it

–3x + 2y = 8

Answer 1

just isolate the y, so start by transferring the -3x to the other side,
when you move from one side to another remember to change the sign
do you know hot to ?

Answer 2

2y=11x

Answer 3

you cant combine unlike terms ....

Answer 4

-3x + 2y = 8
+3x +3x
---------------
0x + 2y = 3x + 8


2y = 3x + 8 ; and continue to solve for the y

Answer 5

for those just learning the process, i do not think refering to it as "moving" to the other side presents an accurate view of the mechanics involved.

Answer 6

so am i solving it like a 2-step equation

Answer 7

maybe @amistre64 can help, he got better terms to explain

Answer 8

yes, similar to a 2 step equation. All the algebraic properties are still usable, but instead of solving for a specific value of y, we are expressing it as a rule that defines multiple values of y

Answer 9

the solution set, produces a line on a graph instead of a singular point.
