You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First solve for y:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-5x%2B3y=9\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3y=9%2B5x\" Add 5x to both sides\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=3%2B%285%2F3%29x\" Divide both sides by 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we have\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%285%2F3%29x%2B3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So it is now in \"y=mx%2Bb\" form where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. Since \"m=5%2F3\" and \"b=3\" the slope is \"5%2F3\" y-intercept is (0,3) (b is always the y coordinate of the y-intercept).
\n" ); document.write( "Here is the graph of \"y=%285%2F3%29x%2B3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-5%2C+5%2C+-5%2C+5%2C%285%2F3%29x%2B3%29+\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
