\"-3x%2B2y=2+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2y=2%2B3x+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2y=3x%2B2+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%283x%2B2%29%2F2+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%283x%29%2F2%2B2%2F2+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=expr%283%2F2%29x%2B1+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now let's graph\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Looking at \"y=%283%2F2%29x%2B1\" we can see that the equation is in slope-intercept form \"y=mx%2Bb\" where the slope is \"m=3%2F2\" and the y-intercept is \"b=1\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since \"b=1\" this tells us that the y-intercept is .Remember the y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects with the y-axis\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we have one point \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now since the slope is comprised of the \"rise\" over the \"run\" this means\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"slope=rise%2Frun\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, because the slope is \"3%2F2\", this means:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"rise%2Frun=3%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "which shows us that the rise is 3 and the run is 2. This means that to go from point to point, we can go up 3 and over 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So starting at , go up 3 units \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and to the right 2 units to get to the next point \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now draw a line through these points to graph \"y=%283%2F2%29x%2B1\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " So this is the graph of \"y=%283%2F2%29x%2B1\" through the points and
