Question 72755
<pre>
how do i solve -3x=2y in order to graph?

    You can write your equation as slope-intercept form of the equation
                  
                  y = mx + b
                -3x = 2y       divide both sides by 2.
                -3x 
                ___ = y , m = -3/2 and b = 0
                 2   

To graph:
Remember that y-intercept have point at (0,y)
 since b=0, the y-intercept have a point at (0,0).

Using the y-intercept and slope, we can find the other point

from (0,0) we move three unit down since the numerator of the slope is -3
and move two units right since the denominator of the slope is 2.
So the other point is located at (2, -3)

Let us see the graph
