y - 3x = 2
y - 3x + 3x = 2 + 3x
y + 0 = 2 + 3x
y = 2 + 3x
y = 3x + 2
slope = 3
x-intercept = ( -2/3 , 0 )
y-intercept = ( 0 , 2 )

1. Bring the -3x to the right of the equal sign
2. You need to change the sign i.e. -3x on the left becomes +3x on the right
3. Answer y = 3x + 2 where m = +3 and b = 2
Another way of looking at things:
Add +3x on both sides of the equal sign:
y-3x + 3x = 2 + 3x
rearranging to simply to y = 3x + 2

y-3x=2
+3x +3x
y=3x+2
Add 3x to both sides of the equation.
m=3 b=2

move the 3x to the other side,
y = 2+3x put the 3x in front of 2,
y = 3x+2

just move the 3x to the other side. and you get
y=3x+2 where m=3 and b=2

y= 3x + 2
slope is 3 and y-intercept is 2

y - 3x = 2
You want this to be in y = mx + b form, where m is your slope and b is your y intercept.
You have to isolate the y---
y -3x + 3x = 3x + 2
y = 3x + 2
