slope and y intercept for 3x-2y=8

Answer 1

To find the slope and y-intercept, we need to rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

To rewrite 3x - 2y = 8 in slope-intercept form, we need to isolate y.

3x - 2y = 8
-2y = -3x + 8
y = (3/2)x - 4

Comparing this equation with y = mx + b, we can see that the slope m is 3/2 and the y-intercept b is -4.
