You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+2x+=+3y+
Divide both sides by +3+
+y+=+%282%2F3%29%2Ax+
This is a straight line equation with a slope
of +2%2F3+
I also know that it goes through the origin
because when +x+=+0+, +y+=+0+
+0+=+%282%2F3%29%2A0+
Here's the plot:
+graph%28+400%2C+400%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+%282%2F3%29%2Ax+%29+
