change into y-intercept formula
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=mx%2Bb\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2B3y=5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3y=-2x%2B5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%28-2%2F3%29x%2B%285%2F3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "so the slope = down 2 right 3
\n" ); document.write( "the y-intercept is at point ( $\"0\"$ , $\"%285%2F3%29\"$ )
\n" ); document.write( "plot the y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "from that dot go down 2 which is same as $\"%285%2F3%29-2=%28-1%2F3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "then right 3 from $\"%28-1%2F3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "which is $\"%28-1%2F3%29%2B3=%288%2F3%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "i would draw my graph
\n" ); document.write( "with 3rd incraments $\"1%2F3\"$ $\"2%2F3\"$ $\"3%2F3\"$ $\"4%2F3\"$ $\"5%2F3\"$ $\"6%2F3\"$ $\"7%2F3\"$ $\"8%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "up and right would be positve
\n" ); document.write( "down and left are negative \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
