To convert the equation to slope-intercept form, we need to solve for y:
3+2x=−15/2y
Divide both sides by -15/2:
-2/15(3+2x) = y
Simplify:
y = -2/15(3) - 2/15(2x)
y = -2/5 - 4/15x
Therefore, the slope is -4/15 and the y-intercept is (0, -2/5).
What is the slope and the y-intercept of the equation 3+2x=−15/2y. Write the y-intercept as an ordered pair.

4x−8y=24 to slope-intercept form
To convert the equation to slope-intercept form, we need to solve for y:
4x - 8y = 24
First, subtract 4x from both sides:
-8y = -4x + 24
Next, divide both sides by -8:
y = (1/2)x - 3
Now the equation is in slope-intercept form, where the slope is 1/2 and the y-intercept is -3.
4x - 8y = 24
First, subtract 4x from both sides:
-8y = -4x + 24
Next, divide both sides by -8:
y = (1/2)x - 3
Now the equation is in slope-intercept form, where the slope is 1/2 and the y-intercept is -3.
