You can put this solution on YOUR website! The intercept method of graphing a line has you plot the y intercept (0,y) and the x intercept (x,0). Then connect the dots.
To find the y intercept let x=0, then solve for y.
2(0)+3y=6
3y=6
3y/3=6/3
y=2
Plot (0,2)
To find the x intercept let y=0, then solve for x.
2x+3(0)=6
2x=6
2x/2=6/2
x=3
Plot (3,0)
Connect the dots and it should look like this:
