Y=mX+b b=the y intercept.
2x divided by 3y= -12
2x/3y=-12 cross multiply.
3y*-12=2x
-36y=2x divide by -36
y=-2x/-36
Y=X/18 [For this line equation the y intercept=0]
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-16%2C+15%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+y+=+x%2F18%29+ (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -16 to 15, y from -10 to 10, y = x/18).
