y = 3x/2 - 1
2(y) = 2(3x/2) - 2(1)
2y = 3x - 2
- 3x + 2y = 3x - 2 - 3x
- 3x + 2y = - 2. . .Standard form
- 3x + 2y + 2 = - 2 + 2
- 3x + 2y + 2 = 0. . .General Form

You should be able to do this yourself. FIRST, move the y term to the "other side", and you will have 0 = 3/2 x - y -1. That's your general form. A is the coefficient of the x term, B is the coefficient of the y term and C is the constant. Note that if the coefficients are negative in the equation, they will be negative in the general form.

y = (3/2)x-1
3/2x-1y-1=0
A=3/2
B=-1
C=-1
