given:
3x-2y=6 which is an linear equation and the graph is a line
to graph it, all we need is two points that lie on line
easiest is to find x and y+intercepts

3x-2y=6 ...set y=0 to find x-intercept
3x-2%2A0=6
3x=6
x=2
x-intercept is at (2,0)


3x-2y=6 ...set x=0 to find y-intercept
3%2A0-2y=6
-2y=6
y=-3
y-intercept is at (0,-3)


plot these points and draw a line through

3x-2y=6-------given equation
-2y=-3x%2B6
y=%28-3x%29%2F%28-2%29%2B6%2F%28-2%29
y=3x%2F2-3
y=%283%2F2%29x-3---------This now in form of y=mx+b, slope-intercept form.

That tells you point of (0,-3) and slope 3%2F2 for vertical change to horizontal change. Graph this now if you want.
