Question 382185: 2x-3=y Plot the graph of the equation. Use the "X' and "Y" intercept method to plot the graph. show all work. a checkpoint is not required. Please help me understand this I have tried subtracting 3 from each side to get answer but I must be doing something wrong.

2x-3=y Plot the graph of the equation. Use the "X' and "Y" intercept method to plot the graph.
---
x-intercept: Let y = 0, then 2x=3 and x = 3/2
---
y-intercept: let x = 0, then y = -3
-----------------------------------------
Plot the two points (3/2,0) and (0,-3) and draw a line thru them:
