1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the slope mm and y-intercept bb of the line given by the equation 3x+2y=63x + 2y = 6.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to rewrite the given equation in the slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept.
The given equation is 3x+2y=63x + 2y = 6.
Subtract 3x3x from both sides:
2y=3x+62y = -3x + 6
Divide both sides by 22:
y=3x+62y = \frac{-3x + 6}{2}
y=32x+62y = \frac{-3}{2}x + \frac{6}{2}
y=32x+3y = -\frac{3}{2}x + 3
Comparing this equation with the slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b, we can identify the slope mm and the y-intercept bb.
m=32m = -\frac{3}{2} and b=3b = 3

3. Final Answer

The slope m=32m = -\frac{3}{2} and the y-intercept b=3b = 3.
Therefore, the answer is (b).
