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