rearrange the equation 3y = 2x + 6
y = 2/3 x + 2
slope = 2/3
x intercept is when y = 0
2x + 6 = 0 2x = -6 x = -3
y intercept is when x = 0
-3y + 6 = 0 3y = 6 y = 2

First, arrange the equation in the following order,
y = mx + b
where m = the slope ; b = y-intercept
2x - 3y + 6 = 0
-3y = -2x - 6
y = 2/3x + 2
From the equation above,
Slope = 2/3 ;
y-intercept = 2
To find x-intercept, y must be 0
0 = 2/3x + 2
2/3 x = -2
x = [ -2 / (2/3) ]
x = -3
Therefore, x-intercept = -3

To find the x intercept, set y=0 and solve for x. To find the y intercept, set x=0 and solve for y. To find the slope of the equation, rearrange the equation so you get y=f(x). The coefficient of x is the slope of the line.

For slope, solve the equation to look like this:
y=mx+b
Whatever value m is, that is your slope.
(If you have calculus...which I am guessing not, you can take the derivative with respect to x also.)
For the x intercept (where this line intercepts the x-axis), make the value for y = 0.
For the y intercept (where this line intercepts the y-axis), make the value for x = 0.

2x – 3y + 6 = 0
3y = 2x + 6
y = 2/3x + 2
y-int is 2
slope is 2/3
0 = 2/3x + 2
2/3x = -2
x = -3 (x-int)

First calculate for y by making x=0
Then calculate for x by making y=0
Thus, when x=0, y must be 2.
and, when y=0, x must be -3
Now graph it.
