3x=4y-2 Start with the given equation


3x%2B2=4y Add 2 to both sides


%283x%2B2%29%2F4=cross%284%2F4%29y Divide both sides by 4


%283%2F4%29x%2B2%2F4=y Break up the fraction


%283%2F4%29x%2B1%2F2=y Reduce


y=%283%2F4%29x%2B1%2F2 Rearrange the equation

So the equation is in slope intercept form y=mx%2Bb where the slope is m=3%2F4
