Question

how do you graph an equation like this:
y-1=-2/3(x-6)?

Answer 1

Add 1 to both sides
y = 1/3(x-6)
Multiply both sides by 3
3y = x-6
Add 6 to both sides
3y + 6 = x
Let x = 0 then LHS makes 3y = -6
So when x - 0 y = -2 Plot this coordinate (0, -2)
Now go back to the equation 3y + 6 = x
and let y = 0 making x =6
Now plot that coordinate (6, 0)
Join a line through the two coordinates voila!
