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