Solve the equation for y:

2x+3y=−12

a)y=-2/3x-4
b)y=2/3x+4
c)y=-3/3x-4
d)y=3/2x+4

1 answer

To solve the equation for y, we can isolate the y term on one side of the equation.

Starting with the given equation:
2x + 3y = -12

First, we can move the 2x term to the right side of the equation by subtracting 2x from both sides:
3y = -2x - 12

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for y:
y = (-2/3)x - 4

Therefore, the correct answer is:
a) y = -2/3x - 4
