Question

Convert the equation to slope-Intercept form: 3x+2y=-8

Answer 1

y = -
`(3)/(2)` x - 4

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given

3x + 2y = - 8 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2y = - 3x - 8 ( divide through by 2 )

`(2)/(2)` y = -
`(3)/(2)` x -
`(8)/(2)` , that is

y = -
`(3)/(2)` x - 4 ← in slope- intercept form
