Given the line 3x+2y=4, express y in terms of x.
.
Simply isolate 'y' to one side of the equation:
3x+2y=4
subtracting 3x from both sides:
2y = -3x + 4
finally, dividing both sides by 2:
y = (-3/2)x + 2 (this is what they're looking for)
.
Notice that the above is in the "slope-intercept" form of:
y = mx + b
where
m is slope
b is the y-intercept
