Whats the slope,x-intercept and y-intercept of the equation-
1/2x + 3/4 = 1/3y
:
We want Y to have a coefficient of 1, mult eq by 3
The slope/intercept form namely: y = mx+b
y = 3%2F2x + 9%2F4
slope = 3/2
y intercept 9/4
Find the x intercept (y=0)
3%2F2x + 9%2F4 = 0
3%2F2x = -9%2F4
x = 2%2F3*-9%2F4
x = -18%2F12
x = -3%2F2; is the x intercept
