You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-X/3+Y/2=1
Y/2=X/3+1 NOW TO GET RID OF THE 2 IN THE DENOMINATOR OF Y WE MULTIPLY ALL TERMS BY 2. THUS:
2(Y/2)=2(X/3)+2*1
Y=2X/3+2
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+y+=+2x%2F3+%2B2%29+ (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, y = 2x/3 +2).
