This document provides steps for graphing a line from an equation. It explains that the equation must be solved for y and defines the slope as "rise over run" and the y-intercept as b. The specific equation given is y=2/3x-4. It provides instructions to plot the y-intercept at (0,-4), then rise 2 and go right 3 to plot additional points and connect them with a line and arrows.

4.  Equation must be solved for y=
 Given: 2x – 3y = 12
 -3y = -2x +12
 y = 2/3 x -4

5.  Y = m x + b
 Where m = slope = rise
 run
 The y-intercept is b.

6.  Y=2/3x -4
1) Plot the y intercept: (0, -4)
2) Starting fromTHAT intercept , rise 2 and
then go right 3. Plot this new point.
3) Repeat step 2.
4) Using a ruler, draw a line, with arrows at each
