how do u graph y-2=2/3(x-6)

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

Well, you have to put this equation in slope-intercept form first...do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isn't slope intercept form y=mx+b

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

Yeah, but you can make this into slope-intercept form. Did you know that? Well. You see how they are subtracting 2 from y? Well now, we are going to subtract 2 fom 6. That gets us to our slope-intercept form:\[y=\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }x-4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

So based on the slope-intercept form, you know that the slope is (2/3) and the y-intercept is -4.

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

Now, let's solve when x = 1. Just plug in 1 into x, and solve. Then do the same thing with x = 2. Just plug in 2 and solve. Then, you can draw a straight line on your coordinate plane.

ok

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

So you got it?

kinda but yes
