Question 67397: Graph the following equations:
x - 2y = 8
3x - 2y = 12
I am having difficulty with these problems, I am not sure what I am doing wrong but I end up with a fraction as the answer. I think I have confussed myself to the point I cannot get back on track now. Any help would be greatful. Thanks

Graph the following equations:
x - 2y = 8
3x - 2y = 12
-----------
Slope-intercept form:
y=(1/2)x-4
y=(3/2)x-6
------------
Slopes are not the same; lines should intersect.
