Question

What is the slope-intercept form of the equation -3x+2y=12

Answer 1

do you know about the slope intercept formula?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

alright you need to get this equation into slope intercept form y=mx+b how would you do that?

Answer 4

-3x+2y=12
what would you do first?

Answer 5

switch 2y with -3x??

Answer 6

almost you would add -3x on the other side of the equal sign so it shows 2y=3x+12 do you know how to get y by itself?

Answer 7

yes I do

Answer 8

alright how?

Answer 9

subtract 2 on both sides

Answer 10

no divide on both sides

Answer 11

alright lol was gonna ask you about that so now the equation would read
y=\[\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }+\frac{ 12 }{ 2 }\]
can 12/2 be reduced?

Answer 12

yes....6

Answer 13

good so the final equation will look like \[y=\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }x+6\]
slope of the line is 3/2 y intercept is 6

Answer 14

thank u
