Always solve for y! So, add 3y to both sides to get 2x=3y+6. Now subtract 6 from both sides to get 2x-6=3y. Dividing both sides by 3 we get . We now have a line in the format y=mx+b, where m is the slope; that means the slope of our line is . To find the y-intercept, we use x=0 in the equation and we get y=-2, or the ordered pair (0,-2). The graph is:
