2x-3y=6
3y=2x-6
y=2x/3-2
slope=2/3
y intercept point is (0,2)
see the following example and do the same way..
-------------------------------------------------
Slope: ; -3/4 y-intercept: (0, 8)
eqn.of a line with slope..m ..and y intercept..c...is given by
y=mx+c...hence..eqn.of reqd.line is
y=(-3x/4)+8..or....4y=-3x+32
determine points and graph as follows
x....................0.................4.....................8.....etc
y=(-3x/4)+8..........8.................5.....................2...etc..
