Question

What is the slope-intercept form of 3x +2y=1?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = (-3/2)x + 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that slope intercept form = y = mx + b

Change the given equation so it matches the form:

3x + 2y = 1

Isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. First, subtract 3x from both sides:

3x (-3x) + 2y = 1 (-3x)

2y = -3x + 1

Next, Divide 2 from both sides:

(2y)/2 = (-3x + 1)/2

y = (-3/2)x + 1/2

y = (-3/2)x + 1/2 is your answer.
