Basically try to rearrange the equation into the form y = mx + b (some people use the letter c rather than b to represent the number part). The m will be the slope and the b will be the y intercept.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2y - 3x + 1 = 0 Add 3x to each side
\n" ); document.write( "2y - 3x + 1 + 3x = 0 + 3x
\n" ); document.write( "2y + 1 = 3x Subtract 1 from each side of the equation
\n" ); document.write( "2y + 1 - 1 = 3x -1
\n" ); document.write( "2y = 3x - 1 Divide both sides of the equation by 2
\n" ); document.write( "\"2y+%2F+2+=+3x+%2F+2+-1+%2F+2\"
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1.5x - 0.5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The number in front of the x is the slope ie 1.5. This means that as you move to the right 1 unit on the graph the graph will move upwards 1.5 units. A negative slope means the graph is moving downwards.
\n" ); document.write( "The y intercept is the y value when x = 0. This will be -0.5 ie y intercept is at (0,-0.5)
