Graph the linear function by finding x-and y-intercepts.
4x=6y+2
------
To find the y-intercept::
Let x = 0
Then 4*0 = 6y+2
6y = -2
y = -1/3
That is the y-intercept.
---------------------------
To find the x-intercept::
Let y = 0
Then 4x = 6*0 + 2
4x = 2
x = 1/2
That is the x-intercept.

Set x=0 and solve for y. 0=6y+2; then -2=6y, moving the 2, and dividing both sides by 6
y=(-1/3)
Set y=0 next and solve for x. 4x=2; x=(1/2) after dividing by 4.
You have a point on the x and y-axis. Draw a line between them.
