Question

Given the equation 3x-2y=-10, identify the slope and the y-intercept

Answer 1

Answer:

3/2 is the slope and (0,5) is the y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

We need slope-intercept form for this question, so we simplify the equation into:

-2y=-10-3x which is just

y=5+3/2x =

y=3/2x+5

When we compare this to y=mx+b, we see that 3/2 is the slope and (0,5) is the y-intercept.

Answer 2

Answer: The slope is $\frac{3}{2}$ and the y-intercept is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is 3x - 2y = -10

We need to turn 3x - 2y = -10 into slope intercept form.

y = mx + b → slope-intercept form

• m = the slope
• b = the y-intercept

3x - 2y = -10

-3x           -3x

-2y = -3x - 10

Divide the whole equation by -2

y = $\frac{3}{2}$x + 5

The slope of the equation is $\frac{3}{2}$ and the y-intercept is -2.
