Find the slope and y intercept of 3x - 2y = 6

Sagot :

3x - 2y = 6
remember the slope-intercept form denoted by
y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
now let's express the equation into such form to find m and b
3x - 2y = 6
transposing -3x to the right you'll have
-2y = -3x + 6
divide both sides of the equation by -2
y = 3/2x - 3
then you'll have the value for both the slope and y-intercept as:
slope(m) = 3/2
y-intercept(b) = -3
