What is the slope and the y-intercept of the equation 3+2x=−152y. Write the y-intercept as an ordered pair.

1 answer

To find the slope and y-intercept of the equation 3+2x=−152y, we need to rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Starting with 3+2x=−152y, we can isolate y by dividing both sides by -15:

(3+2x)/(-15) = y

Simplifying the left side, we get:

y = (-2/15)x - 1/5

Now we can see that the slope is -2/15 and the y-intercept is -1/5 or (-0.2, 0) as an ordered pair.
