SETX=0 & SOLVE FOR Y.
2*0+3Y=Y
3Y=6
Y=6/3
Y=2 ANSWER POINT=(0,2)
SET Y=0 & SOLVE FOR X
2X+3*0=6
2X=6
X=6/2
X=3 ANSWER POINT=(3,0)
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+y+=+-2x%2F3+%2B2%29+ (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, y = -2x/3 +2).

TO GRAPH THIS LINE PLOT THE 2 POINTS (0,2) & (3,0) & DRAW A LINE THROUGH THEM AS SHOWN IN THE PRECEEDING GRAPH.
