You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=mx+b is the slope intercept form of a line. m is the slope and b is the y intercept. Plug in the values given: m=3/3 and b=-2:

\n" ); document.write( "y = 3/2 x -2.

\n" ); document.write( "Graph it by determining two points on the line, then connecting them.

\n" ); document.write( "One point is (0,-2) - that's the y intercept. It's the y value when x = 0.

\n" ); document.write( "Pick an x value. Plug it into the equation. Find the y-value. That gives a second point.

\n" ); document.write( "Use x=1. Then y = 3/2 * 1 -2 = 3/2 - 2 = 3/2 - 4/2 = -1/2. That second point is (1,-1/2).

\n" ); document.write( "Draw the points, connect them with a line.
