You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Given: 2x%2B3y=6
Following Slope-Intercept Form, y=mx%2Bb
3y=-2x%2B6--->cross%283%29y%2Fcross%283%29=%28-2x%2B6%29%2F3
y=%28-2%2F3%29x%2B6%2F2
highlight%28y=%28-2%2F3%29x%2B3%29
For the intercepts:
let Fy=0:
0=%28-2%2F3%29x%2B3
%282%2F3%29x=3, cross multiply
2x=3%2A3=9----->cross%282%29x%2Fcross%282%29=9%2F2
highlight%28x=9%2F2%29
Also, Fx=0
y=%28-2%2F3%29%280%29%2B3
highlight%28y=3%29
Let's plot in the graph:
