Do you want to solve for y?



3x-2y=3 Start with the given equation


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


-2y=-3x%2B3 Rearrange the equation


y=%28-3x%2B3%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2


y=%28-3%2F-2%29x%2B%283%29%2F%28-2%29 Break up the fraction


y=%283%2F2%29x-3%2F2 Reduce



So the equation is now in slope-intercept form (y=mx%2Bb) where the slope is m=3%2F2 and the y-intercept is b=-3%2F2
