Question 235775

The y-intercept form for an equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We need to change your equation into the form y = mx + b.

To do so, we isolate y on the left side of the equation.

3x - 2y = 5

-2y = -3x + 5

y = (-3x + 5)/-2


y = (3/2)(x) - 5/2

From this final equation, we know that m = 3/2 and b = -5/2
