Question

2y-3x=-8 in slope-intercept form?

Answer 1

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:

y

=

m

x

+

b

 

Where  

m

is the slope and  

b

is the y-intercept value.

We can solve this equation for  

y

to get it into this format.

y

=

or

y

=

x

+

4

So the slope is  

m

=

3

2

And the y-intercept is  

b

=

4

Answer 2

$y=\frac{3}{2}x-4$

Hope this helps!!
