3x+2y=5
What is the y and x intercept and can i get a step by step explanation

the slope is -3/2, and the y-intercept is 5/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = 5

putting it into a y = mx+b form,

2y = -3x + 5

y = -3/2x + 5/2

the slope is -3/2, and the y-intercept is 5/2.

y-intercept= 2.5

x- intercept= 1.666666666 or 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Move variable to other side.

3x+2y= 5

-3x        -3x

2y= -3x+5

2. Divide each side by 2.

-3/ 2 = -1.5

5/2 = 2.5

y= 1.5x+2.5

y= mx+b

b= y-intercept

b=2.5

3. Replace y with 0 to solve for x intercept.

3x+ 2 x 0 = 5

3x= 5

5/3 = x
