Question 708484
need help graphing -y=-3x+2. does the negative y (-y) need to be positive in order to graph this linear equation?
-----
Answer to your question.  No, but it makes the process easier.
----
-y = -3x+2
y = 3x-2
-----
y-intercept: 
Let x = 0, then y = -2
Plot (0,-2)
----------------------
x-intercept:
Let y = 0, then x = 2/3
-----
Plot (2/3 , 0)
====================
Draw a line thru those two points.
{{{graph(400,400,-10,10,-10,10,3x-2)}}}
