Graphing, find the x and y intercepts, plot them and the line through them.
Y-intercept : Set , solve for .



(0,-1/2)
.
.
.
X-intercept : Set , solve for .



(3/2,0)
.

Convert the equation to slope-intercept form .


So then,


But you already solved for the y-intercept.

Put in slope intercept form:y=mx+b
6y+3=2x subtract 3 from each side.
6y=2x+(-3) Divide each side by 6

m=slope=1/3 b=y-intercept=-1/2
x-intercept:
0=1/3x-1/2
1/2=1/3x
3/2=x
Draw the intercepts at (0,-1/2) and (3/2,0) and connect the dots.
