$\frac{5 x}{2} + 4 = - 6$

$y = - \frac{3 x}{2} - 4$

$\frac{5 x}{2} + 4 = - 6$

$y = - \frac{3 x}{2} - 4$

Step 3

Solve for $x$ in $\frac{5 x}{2} + 4 = - 6$ .

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $4$ from both sides of the equation.

$\frac{5 x}{2} = - 6 - 4$

$y = - \frac{3 x}{2} - 4$
