\n" ); document.write( "\"-2x%2B3y=8\" Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3y=8%2B2x\" Add \"2x\" to both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3y=2x%2B8\" Rearrange the terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%282x%2B8%29%2F%283%29\" Divide both sides by \"3\" to isolate y.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%282%2F3%29x%2B8%2F3\" Break up the fraction.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the equation \"y=%282%2F3%29x%2B8%2F3\" is now in slope intercept form \"y=mx%2Bb\" where the slope is \"m=2%2F3\" and the y-intercept is \"b=8%2F3\" note: the y-intercept is the point
