Question

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line.

3x+2y=7
Write your answers in simplest form.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Make 3x+2y=7 to slope intercept form. y = mx + b

So subtract 3x from both sides to get 2y= -3x + 7

Then divide by 2 on both sides to get y = -3x/2 + 7/2

The slope is -3/2 and the y-intercept is 7/2
