Question

Identify the correct slope and the y-intercept of 3x - 2y = 12

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-2y=12

-3x      -3x

-2y=-3x+12

y=3/2x-6

slope = 3/2

y-intercept = -6

Answer 2

Answer:

C) m=3/2 and b=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest way to do this is by converting the equation into slope-intercept form, which is written y=mx+b. So...

3x-2y=12     Subtract 3x from both sides.

-3x      -3x

-2y=-3x+12  Divide both sides by -2.

/-2   /-2

y=3/2x-6

The slope (m) is always right next to x, which, in this case, is 3/2.

The y-intercept (b) is the (simplified) regular number in the equation.

So, the correct answer is C) m=3/2 and b=-6.

Hope this helps you out! Have a nice day :3
