Find the slope of this problem by solving for y: 3x+2y=6
The slope intercept form of a line is highlight%28y=mx%2Bb%29, m=slope, and b=y-intercept.
3x%2B2y=6
-3x%2B3x%2B2y=-3x%2B6
0%2B2y=-3x%2B6
2y=-3x%2B6
2y%2F2=%28-3%2F2%29x%2B6%2F2
y=highlight%28-3%2F2%29x%2B3
The slope m=-3/2
For fun, what do you think the y-intercept is?
