Algebra.Com's Answer #69529 by checkley71(8403) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Y=mX+b where (m)= slope & (b)=Y intercept. \n" ); document.write( "THE Y INTERCEPT HERE IS (0,-2). ONE POINT TO PLOT \n" ); document.write( "TO FIND ANOTHER POINT JUST SET Y=0 & SOLVE FOR X. \n" ); document.write( "0=2X/3-2 \n" ); document.write( "2X/3=2 NOW CROSS MULTIPLY \n" ); document.write( "2X=6 \n" ); document.write( "NOW DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY 2 \n" ); document.write( "2X/2=6/2 \n" ); document.write( "X=3 WHEN Y=0 SO WE HAVE A SECOND POINT (3,0)NOW PLOT THESE 2 POINTS(0,-2) & (3,0) AND DRAW A LINE THROUGH THEM. YOU'LL HAVE A SLOPE (m) OF 2/3 \n" ); document.write( " |
