1. Problem Description

The problem asks to convert the equation 3x2y=63x - 2y = -6 to slope-intercept form, and then to identify the slope and yy-intercept.

2. Solution Steps

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope and bb is the yy-intercept.
We need to isolate yy in the given equation 3x2y=63x - 2y = -6.
First, subtract 3x3x from both sides of the equation:
2y=3x6-2y = -3x - 6
Then, divide both sides by 2-2:
y=3x2+62y = \frac{-3x}{-2} + \frac{-6}{-2}
y=32x+3y = \frac{3}{2}x + 3
From the slope-intercept form y=32x+3y = \frac{3}{2}x + 3, we can identify the slope mm and the yy-intercept bb.
The slope m=32m = \frac{3}{2}.
The yy-intercept b=3b = 3.

3. Final Answer

y=32x+3y = \frac{3}{2}x + 3
