You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2x+-+3y+=+12...move -3y to the right, and 12 to the left
2x+-+12+=+3y.....divide both sides by 3
%282%2F3%29x+-+4+=+y
or
y+=+%282%2F3%29x+-+4.....this is slope_intercept form
now the graph:

This solver uses formula rendering system and here's the actual formula that was plotted:
