Question 463362: Graph 2x + 3y=6 using the slope and y-intercept
Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b
m is the slope {rise over run}
b is the y-intercept {where the line crosses the y-axis}
2x + 3y = 6
3y = -2x + 6 {subtracted 2x from both sides}
y = (-2/3)x + 2 {divided both sides by 3}
slope = -2/3
y-intercept = 2
To graph:
- put a point on 2, on the y-axis
- from there, the slope is -2/3, so go down 2 and to the right 3 and put another point
- draw a line through the two points
