Well you are solving for Y so you have to get y by itself. So in order to do that you must multiply both sides by 3/2. You do this because you need to get 2/3 on the other side. So just multiply -12 and 2/3 and you'll get y=-18. You can check this by plugging -18 into your original equation. So 2/3y=-12 will become 2/3(-18)=-12. If the you got the correct answer then you should get -12=-12.

Answer:

The y-intercept of Function A is less than the y-intercept of Function B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Function A's y-intercept would be (0, -1) and Function B's y-intercept is (0, 4). Therefore, Function A's y-intercept is less than Function B's.

A. Our diagram have six location: my house (2,1), a movie theater (5,3), the school (6,6), the police station (3,-2), the airport (-3,3), and the mall (-2,-3)

B. Distance between my house and the movie theater:
To calculate the distance we are going to use the points (2,1) and (5,3) to create a right triangle with tow legs of measures 3 and 2; the hypotenuse of the right triangle will be the distance between my house and the movie theater.
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
$d^2=3^2+2^2$
$d^2=9+4$
$d^2=13$
$d= \sqrt{13}$
We can conclude that the distance between my house and the movie theater is $\sqrt{13}$

Our second distance is the distance between the police station and the airport:
This time we are using the points (3,-2) and (-3,3) to create a right triangle with legs of measures 6 and 5; the hypotenuse of our triangle will be the the distance between our points:
$d^2=6^2+5^2$
$d^2=36+25$
$d^2=61$
$d= \sqrt{61}$
We can conclude that the distance between the police station and the airport is $\sqrt{61}$

C. Distance form the park to the Fire Station:
$d^2=3^2+1^2$
$d^2=9+1$
$d^2=10$
$d= \sqrt{10}$
We can conclude that the distance from the park to the Fire Station is $\sqrt{10}$

Distance from the stadium to the mall:
$d^2=2^2+1^2$
$d^2=4+1$
$d^2=5$
$d= \sqrt{5}$
We can conclude that the distance from the stadium to the mall is $\sqrt{5}$

D. What is the distance between your house and the mall?
Answer:
$d^2=4^2+4^2$
$d^2=16+16$
$d^2=32$
$d= \sqrt{32}$
$d=4 \sqrt{2}$
We can conclude that the distance between my house and the mall is $4 \sqrt{2}$

What is the distance between the movie theater and the school?
answer:
$d^2=3^2+1^2$
$d^2=9+1$
$d^2=10$
$d= \sqrt{10}$
We can conclude that the distance between the movie theater and the school is $\sqrt{10}$
