You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You first want to convert the equation into slope-intercept form.
You do that by isolating the Y and solving
You should get something like this
2y=-3x%2B6
y=%28-3%2F2%29x%2B3
Then immediately you know what the slope and y-intercept is.
The slope = %28-3%2F2%29
Y-intercept = 3
Then to graph it, plot the y-intercept and use rise%2Frun to plot another dot. Then just connect.
Your graph should then look like this.
graph+%28300%2C200%2C-5%2C5%2C-5%2C5%2C%28-3%2F2%29x%2B3%29
Hope this helps!
