Given:

The equation is:

[tex]3x-2y=18[/tex]

To find:

The slope intercept form of the given equation.

Solution:

Slope intercept form of a line is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

We have,

[tex]3x-2y=18[/tex]

It is not in the slope intercept form.

We need to isolate variable y to get the slope intercept form.

The given equation can be rewritten as:

[tex]-2y=-3x+18[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{-3x+18}{-2}[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{-3x}{-2}+\dfrac{18}{-2}[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{3}{2}x-9[/tex]

Therefore, the slope intercept form of the given equation is [tex]y=\dfrac{3}{2}x-9[/tex].
