+-3x+-+2y+=+-5+
Multiply both sides by +-1+
+3x+%2B+2y+=+5+
Subtract +3x+ from both sides
+2y+=+-3x+%2B+5+
Divide both sides by +2+
+y+=+%28-3%2F2%29%2Ax+%2B+5%2F2+
The slope is negative, so this line will
go from upper left to lower right
----------------------------------
When +x+=+0+, +y+=+5%2F2+, so
that is the y-intercept
-------------------------
Here is the graph:
+graph%28+400%2C+400%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+%28-3%2F2%29%2Ax+%2B+5%2F2+%29+
