Graph this line by finding anoher point that lies on the line. This question is from textbook

Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The basic definition of slope is: change in y / change in x
It is given that this equals
Also given is the point (3,2)
I can say
Suppose I say
Now I have

For this to be true, has to be

So this line also goes through (0,3)
Now just connect (3,2) and (0,3) to graph the line
I can check by finding the equation

From the 2nd equation I get , so

so,
This is the general equation
check for (0,3)

OK
