reduce the equation 3x+y-2=0 to the slope-ntercept form

Slop intercept form is y=mx + b
OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
So we need to get y by itself on one side of the equals sign and everything else on the other side.
OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
Any ideas @velasco ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes.
OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
What do you think?

you can add equation,attachments,and drawings to better explain your answer.
OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
I can't because I'm on an iPad. Did you have any thoughts on how to solve for y?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it is correct that solve like this,y=3x+2?
OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
Very close" to move the 3x you need to subtract on both sides.
OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
y = -3x + 2

Make sense?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank you....
OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
You're welcome.
OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
Welcome to OpenStudy!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so how to solve like this one?2x-7y+5=0?

Similarly, but an extra step since y has a coefficient.
OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
Can you first solve for -7y?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so like this?7y=2x+5 or y=2/7x+5/7
OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
Yes, good!
OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
You catch on fast! :)
