Question

given the equation 3x-2y=8 you should be able to do the following:

find four of solution points: (  ,  ), (  ,  ) , (  ,  ) , (  ,  )

find the slope:

identify the x and y intercepts:(  ,  ) , (  ,  )

rewrite the equation in y=mx+b

Answer 1

3x-2y=8...2y=3x-8...y=1.5x-4

slope=1.5

x=0 giv "y-intersept"....-4 point=(0,-4)

y=0 giv "x-intersept"...0=1.5x-4, so 1.5x=4, x=4/1.5, x=2.6666666666...

Answer 2

Given 3x-2y=8

Find four of solution points: (0,-4), (8/3,0) , (1,-5/2) , (2,-1)

Find the slope:
m=3/2

Identify the x and y intercepts:(0,2.66) , (-4,0)

Rewrite the equation in y=mx+b
y=3/2x-4
