3x-2y-4=0 Start with the given equation.


-2y-4=0-3x Subtract 3x from both sides.


-2y=0-3x%2B4 Add 4 to both sides.


-2y=-3x%2B4 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%28-3x%2B4%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate y.


y=%283%2F2%29x-2 Simplify.


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=-2, which is the point (0,-2).
