THE EASIEST POINTS TO CALCULATE ARE FOUND BY SETTING X=0 & SOLVE FOR Y THEN SET Y=0 & SOLVE FOR X THUS:
2X-Y=3
2+0-Y=3, -Y=3, Y=-3 POINT HERE IS (0,-3)
2X-0=3, 2X=3, X=3/2 POINT HERE IS (3/2,0)
THE STANDARD LINE FORM IS Y=mX+b WHERE m=SLOPE & b=Y INTERCEPT.
2X-Y=3
-Y=-2X+3
Y=-2X/-1+3/-1
Y=2X-3
GRAPH FOLLOWS:
