You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+3+=+2x+-+y+
First put it in the form:
+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+b+ where
+m+ = slope
+b+ = y- intercept
--------------------
+3+=+2x+-+y+
Add +y+ to both sides
+y+%2B+3+=+2x+
Subtract +3+ from both sides
+y+=+2x+-+3+
--------------
This says
slope = 2
y-intercept = -3
---------------
Here's the graph:
+graph%28+400%2C+400%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+2x+-+3+%29+
check:
Find the x-intercept
+y+=+0+
+y+=+2x+-+3+
+0+=+2x+-+3+
+2x+=+3+
+x+=+3%2F2+
This looks right on graph
