2x−3y=−12 how to solve? Algebra1, grade 8

Question

How do you graph this? 2x−3y=−12

.

Answer 1

To graph the equation, first solve for y

2x-3y=-12

3y = 2x+12

y = 2/3x + 4

This is a line. 2/3 is the slope of the line and 4 is the y-intercept. To draw the line, put a point at the y-intercept, (0,4). Then go 3 units right and 2 units up on the graph and mark the second point (3, 6).

Draw a line through these two points.
