How do you rewrite the equation 2y+3x=4 in slope intercept form?

2 Answers

y = -3/2x - 2

Explanation:

First, write the equation

y = mx+b

and look at the equation you are given. From there, solve the equation to get y by itself you will end up with

2y = 4-3x

Then, divide both sides by two to get the unit rate

y = 2-(3x)/2

After, switch the two values on the right side to get

y = -3/2x -2

I hope this helps!

y=-3/2x+2

Explanation:

Given:

2y+3x=4

Rewrite in the standard form for a linear equation: Ax+By=C

3x+2y=4

The slope-intercept form for a linear equation is y=mx+b,

where:

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

To convert the standard form to slope-intercept form, solve for y.

3x+2y=4

Subtract 3x from both sides.

2y=-3x+4

Divide both sides by 2.

y=-3/2x+4/2

Simplify.

y=-3/2x+2

graph{(3x+2y-4)(y+3/2x-2)=0 [-9.96, 10.04, -2.76, 7.24]}
