Math Problem Statement

3x+2y-1=0

Solution

The equation you provided is:

3x+2y1=03x + 2y - 1 = 0

To rearrange it in the slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b, follow these steps:

  1. Move 3x3x and 1-1 to the other side of the equation: 2y=3x+12y = -3x + 1

  2. Divide the entire equation by 2 to solve for yy: y=32x+12y = -\frac{3}{2}x + \frac{1}{2}

Now, the equation is in the form y=mx+by = mx + b, where the slope m=32m = -\frac{3}{2} and the y-intercept b=12b = \frac{1}{2}.
