Do you want to solve for y?




4x%2B3y=2 Start with the given equation


3y=2-4x Subtract 4+x from both sides


3y=-4x%2B2 Rearrange the equation


y=%28-4x%2B2%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3


y=%28-4%2F3%29x%2B%282%29%2F%283%29 Break up the fraction




So the equation is now in slope-intercept form (y=mx%2Bb) where the slope is m=-4%2F3 and the y-intercept is b=2%2F3
