1 answer

To rewrite the given equation \( y + 10 = \frac{3}{2}(x + 4) \) in slope-intercept form (which is \( y = mx + b \)), we need to isolate \( y \).

First, distribute \(\frac{3}{2}\) on the right side:

\[ y + 10 = \frac{3}{2}x + \frac{3}{2} \cdot 4 \]

Calculating \(\frac{3}{2} \cdot 4\):

\[ \frac{3}{2} \cdot 4 = 6 \]

Now, substitute this back into the equation:

\[ y + 10 = \frac{3}{2}x + 6 \]

Next, subtract 10 from both sides to solve for \(y\):

\[ y = \frac{3}{2}x + 6 - 10 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ y = \frac{3}{2}x - 4 \]

Now we have the equation in slope-intercept form:

\[ \boxed{y = \frac{3}{2}x - 4} \]
