You can put this solution on YOUR website! graph the following equation 2x + 3y = 6
:
Arrange equation in the slope intercept form:
3y = -2x + 6; subtracted 2x from both sides
y = -x + ; divided both sides by 3
y = -x + 2
:
Set up a table of values for x & y
Choose values for x and find y, for example
if x = -3;
y = -(2/3)(-3) + 2
y = +2 + 2
y = 4
;
x | y
------
-3|+4
0|+2; y intercept
+3|0
:
Since it is linear ( a straight line) two sets of coordinates are sufficient
Should look like this
