Rewrite in slope intercept form: x+2y/3 =1

Question

Rewrite in slope intercept form: x+2y/3 =1

Answer 1

Slope intercept form looks like:  y = mx + b.

 

So you want to get y by itself on one side, and x on the other side.

 

x + 2y/3 = 1

 

Subtract x from both sides:

2y/3 = -x + 1

 

Divide both sides by 2/3

y = -x / (2/3) + 1 / (2/3)

y = -3/2 x + 3/2

 

And that's as far as you have to go.
