To convert the equation \( y - 2 = \frac{3}{2}(x + 2) \) into slope-intercept form \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept, you can follow these steps:
-
Distribute \( \frac{3}{2} \) on the right side:
\[ y - 2 = \frac{3}{2}x + 3 \]
-
Add 2 to both sides to isolate \( y \):
\[ y = \frac{3}{2}x + 3 + 2 \] \[ y = \frac{3}{2}x + 5 \]
So, the equation in slope-intercept form is:
\[ y = \frac{3}{2}x + 5 \]
Therefore, the correct response is:
y=3/2x+5
y equals Start Fraction 3 over 2 End Fraction x plus 5
