Question

How do you find the slope and y-intercept for the graph of 3x+2y=12?

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

• Slope:

`3x + 2y = 12`

`y = (12 - 3x)/2`

`implies y = - 3/2x + 6`

So slope `= - 3/2`

• intercept

y - intercept: set `x = 0 implies y =6`

graph{3x + 2y = 12 [-18.02, 18.02, -9.01, 9.01]}
