Y=mX+b WHERE m=SLOPE & b=Y INTERCEPT.
REPLACE X & Y WITH THE VALUES 3 & 6 & REPLACE m WITH 2/3 & SOLVE FOR b.
6=2/3*3+b
6=2+b
b=6-2
b=4 ANSWER FOR THE Y INTERCEPT. THUS THE LINE FORMULA IS:
Y=2X/3+4. THE GRAPH FOLLOWS: +graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+y+=+2x%2F3+%2B4%29+ (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, y = 2x/3 +4).
