Practice makes perfect
To evaluate the given expression for a = -2 and b = 3, we should substitute these values into the expression and simplify as much as possible. We are given an expression and asked to evaluate it for some given values. a=-2and b=3 This means that we should substitute -2 for a and 3 for b in the given expression and then evaluate. Let's start.
-b/2a
-b/2* (-2)
-3/2* (-2)
-3/-4
3/4
