Graph the line:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x-3y+=+6\" Solve this for y. Add 3y to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x+=+3y%2B6\" Subtract 6 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x-6+=+3y\" Finally, divide both sides by 3.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+%282%2F3%29x-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "To graph a linear equation such as this. you need only two points, and these can be the x- and y-intercepts.
\n" ); document.write( "To get the y-intercept, set x=0 and solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+%282%2F3%29%280%29-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y+=+-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "The y-intercept is (0, -2)
\n" ); document.write( "To get the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( "\"0+=+%282%2F3%29x-2\" Add 2 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2+=+%282%2F3%29x\" Multiply both sides by \"3%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3+=+x\"
\n" ); document.write( "The x-intercept is (3, 0)
\n" ); document.write( "Now plot these two points on your coordinate graph paper and joint the points with a straight line.
