Question 377951: solve in slope-intercept form
3x-2y=-16
Answer by nyc_function(2741)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You want your equation to be in the form y = mx + b.
To do so, isolate y in the given equation.
To isolate a letter means to place it alone on one side of the equation.
When we solve for a letter, it means to isolate the letter.
When they ask you to solve for x, y, z,or any other letter, it simply means to isolate the letter in question.
Understand?
3x - 2y = -16
-2y = -3x - 16
y = (3/2)x + 8
Do you see that y has been isolated?
Done!
