Question 427970: I need to graph this equation... I just can't get it. 9x-2y=0

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept

9x - 2y = 0
2y = 9x {added 2x to both sides}
y = (9/2)x
slope is 9/2
y-intercept is 0 {where the line crosses the y-axis}

To graph:
- put a point on 0 on the y-axis, that is the y-intercept
- from there, since the slope is 9/2, and that is rise/run, go up 9 and to the right 2 and put another point
- draw a line through the two points
