1. Problem Description

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

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to rewrite the equation 3x2y=63x - 2y = -6 in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept.
Subtract 3x3x from both sides of the equation:
2y=3x6-2y = -3x - 6
Divide both sides by 2-2:
y=3x2+62y = \frac{-3x}{-2} + \frac{-6}{-2}
y=32x+3y = \frac{3}{2}x + 3
So the slope-intercept form of the equation is y=32x+3y = \frac{3}{2}x + 3.
Now, we can identify the slope and the y-intercept.
The slope mm is the coefficient of xx, so m=32m = \frac{3}{2}.
The y-intercept bb is the constant term, so b=3b = 3.
The y-intercept as a coordinate point is (0,3)(0, 3).

3. Final Answer

y=32x+3y = \frac{3}{2}x + 3
m=32m = \frac{3}{2}
(0,3)(0, 3)
