1) 2x+3y=6
-2x -2x = 3y=2x+6
2) 3y=2x+6
/3 /3 =
y=(2/3)x+2 (this is it in y=mx+b form)

to graph it you start at 2 on the y axis as one point and then go up 2 and to the right 3 and that is your second point then you make a line through it and there you go!

to put the equation into form you need to leave on the left side and everything else on the other side of the equal sign:
.....to both sides add

......both sides divide by

now graph it:

3y=-2x+6
divide entire equation by 3
y=-2/3x+2
plug in points
(-3,4),(0,2),(3,0)
plot those points and draw a straight line. this link will show you what it should look like. this is a great site to use. copy and paste the link into your browser and you can see it.
hope this helps.

3y = 6 - 2x

y = 2 - (2/3)x = -(2/3)x + 2
