Question

How do you graph using slope and intercept of `3x + 2y = 29`?

Answer 1

It would be easiest to convert to slope intercept form. In order to do this, you have to isolate y.

Explanation:

3x + 2y = 29
2y = 29 - 3x
y = `-3/2x` + `29/2`

With this equation, you know the y intercept (`29/2`) and the slope (`-3/2`). In a slope intercept form equation, the slope will always be the value with the x coefficient and the intercept the constant term (the number that stays the same). With this information you can graph the line.
