Given the equation of the line.
2x - 3y = 6
Determine the equation of the line.
Solution:
In order to determine the equation of the line, we can simply solve for y. To start with we transpose 6 and -3y to the opposite sides of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
2x - 3y = 6
3y = 2x - 6
Divide both sides by 3 in order to determine the value of y.
3y/3 = (2x - 6)/3
y = ⅔x - 2
Final answer:
y = ⅔x - 2
