\n" ); document.write( "to find the slope and the $\"y\"$ and $\"x\"$ intercepts for $\"2x+-3y+=+18\"$ , first write it in slope-intercept form $\"y=mx%2Bb\"$ where $\"m\"$ is a slope and $\"b\"$ is y-intercept\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+-3y+=+18\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+-18+=+3y\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2F3+-18%2F3+=+3y%2F3\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=%282%2F3%29x+-6\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, the slope is $\"2%2F3\"$ and y-intercept is $\"-6\"$ or at point ( $\"0\"$ , $\"-6\"$ )\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now find x-intercept: set $\"y=0\"$ and solve for $\"x\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"0=%282%2F3%29x+-6\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"0%2B6=2x%2F3+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"6%2A3=2x+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"18=2x+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=18%2F2+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=9+\"$ => x-intercept is $\"9\"$ or at point ( $\"9\"$ , $\"0\"$ )\r
