: can you help me solve and graph 1%2F2x+-+2%2F3y=-6 so far i tried y intercept=C/B and i got -6/ 2/3 and x intercept=C/A and i got -6/ 1/2. did i do it right? how do you get rid of the fractions? is there an easier way to solve and graph this problem?

IF THIS IS THE PROBLEM X/2-2Y/3=-6 THEN:
(3X-4Y)/6=-6 NOW CROSS MULTIPLY
3X-4Y=-36
-4Y=-3X-36
Y=-3X/-4-36/-4
Y=3X/4+9 THIS IS THE LINE FORMULA.
the intercepts are (0,6) & (-8,0)
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-10%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+y+=+3x%2F4+%2B6%29+ (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -10 to 5, y from -10 to 10, y = 3x/4 +6).
