Graph the following equations; calculate the slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept, and label the intercepts on the graph.
2x + 3y = 9

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
equation
2x+3y=9
rewrite the equation in slope intercept form
3y=-2x+9
/3
y=(-2/3)x+3
compare equation with y=mx+b
m=(-2/3) the slope
+3 = y intercept
when y = 0 x=4.5 the x intercept

when x= 0 y= 3 ( 0 , 3 )
when y = 0 x= 4.5 ( 4.5 , 0 )
