Question 101471: I AM NOT SUER HOW TO WORK THIS PROBLEM SOLVING FOR Y.Y-1=-2/3(X+6). FIRST I GET RID OF THE FRACTION BY MULTIPLYING BY 3 WHICH CROSSES OUT ON THE 2/3 AND LEAVES 2. Y-1=2/3(X+6)= 3Y-1=2X+12 = 3Y=2X+12+1 DIVIDED BY 3= Y=2/3X+4-3 WHICH IS WRONG.WHAT AM I DOING WRONG

SOLVING FOR Y.Y-1=-2/3(X+6).
y = (2/3)(x+6)+1
y = (2/3)x + 4+1
y = (2/3)x + 5
