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( " |
