Please help me find the slope and the y-intercept for the line repesented by the equation y=3x/2.
Thank you.
would the equation in slope intercept form be
y= 3/2 x + 0
slope 3/2, intercept 0
I'm not sure, the fact that the 3x is over the 2 is what's throwing me off on this one. Does it not change the equation having the 3x over the 2 like 3x/2? I'm just really confused. I mean would the equation be y=3/2x+0 even though it is presented as 3x/2?
To find the slope and y-intercept of the line represented by the equation y = 3x/2, we need to compare it to the standard equation of a line, which is y = mx + b.
In the standard equation, m represents the slope of the line, and b represents the y-intercept. By analyzing the given equation, we can determine the values for m and b.
Comparing y = 3x/2 to the standard equation, we can see that the slope (m) is 3/2.
To find the y-intercept (b), we need to examine the equation when x = 0. Substituting x = 0 into the equation, we have y = 3(0)/2, which simplifies to y = 0.
Therefore, the y-intercept (b) is 0.
Hence, the slope of the line is 3/2, and the y-intercept is 0.
