Question

Write the equation in standard form: 3x – 1 = 2y 
(Points : 1)
      3x + 2y = 1
      3x – 2y = 1
      3x + 2y = –1
      3x – 2y = –1

Standard form:$$y = mx + b$$To get there, you'll need to rearrange your equation so that the y is on one side and everything else is on the other.$$3x-1=2y$$In this case, that step is already complete. All that's left is to divide everything by y's coefficient.$$y=\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }x + \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }$$

Oops- that should be minus one-half, not plus one-half!
