Question 1049300: I have been attempting this problem and I have no clue as to where to go. I only have on problem left and I was not able to solve it for this section and was wondering if anyone could please provide assistance on how I should go about solving this.
1.) Determine the rate of change for each equation.
3/2x - 5/4y = 15
Here is what I have attempted to do with the problem: I have subtracted the 3/2x to the other side and ended up with -5/4y = -3/2x +15 which is what I am currently stuck on. I feel like I went about this the correct way, but I could be wrong.

%283%2F2%29x+-+%285%2F4%29y+=+15+
in y=mx%2Bb
m is your rate of change
you need to get y by itself
%283%2F2%29x+-+15+=+%285%2F4%29y+
3x%2F2+-+30%2F2+=+%285%2F4%29y+
%283x+-+30%29%2F2+=+%285%2F4%29y+
3x+-+30+=+2%285%2F4%29y+
3x+-+30+=+cross%282%29%285%2Fcross%284%292%29y+
3x+-+30+=+%285%2F2%29y+
2%2A3x+-+2%2A30+=+2%285%2F2%29y+
6x+-+60+=+5y+
6x%2F5+-+60%2F5+=+5y%2F5+
y=highlight%28%286%2F5%29%29x+-+12+
so,the rate of change is highlight%286%2F5%29+
