ok. so first we need to rewrite this in slope intercept form which is
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept(0,b).
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "I will have to assume that the -8 is really =8 since we need an equals somewhere
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3x-2y=8
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-2y=-3x+8....subtracted 3x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y=(3/2)x-4...divided all terms by -2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "so slope is 3/2 and the y intercept is -4 (0,-4)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "so we start by plotting the point (0,-4). This is a positive slope so we move
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3 units up and 2 units to the right(plot that point) then draw a line thru both those points and there ya have it.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "should look like this when your done. BTW the other point will end up at (2,-1)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28300%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C%283%2F2%29x-4%29\" \n" ); document.write( "
