Hi,
Note: to determine the slope , solve for y in order to put the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form: y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y- intercept(the value of y when the line passes thru the y-axis.
.
3x-2y = -4
3x + 4 = 2y
(3/2)x + 2 = y
.
y = (3/2)x + 2
slope = (3/2) The positve slope tells us the line slopes to the right
.
As y varies by 3, x varies in the same direction by 2
y-intercept is 2 (0,2) a point on the line
.
(0, 2) and (2,5) and (-2,-1) are points on the line
