Question 183328: 5.
Graph the following equations; calculate the slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept, and label the intercepts on the graph.

2x + 3y = 9
I really need to see this in progress. thanks.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2x + 3y = 9
3y=-2x+9
y=-2x/3+9/3
y=-2x/3+3
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-2x%2F3+%2B3%29+ (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, -2x/3 +3).
------------------------------------------------
slope=-2/3
y intercept=3 (0,3)
0=-2x/3+3
2x/3=3
2x=9
x=9/2
x=4.5 is the x intercept. (4.5,0)
