The equation is .

     (Subtract x from each side)

               (Simplify)

    (Divide each side by negative 3)

                      (Simplify)

               (Write the equation in the form of y = mx + b)

Compare the equation with slope-intercept form y = mx + b.where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

slope(m) = and y-intercept is(b) = 2.

y-intercept is 2, so the line crosses the y-axis at (0, 2)

Using slope find the next point.

Slope(m) = = .

\
• Plot the point (0, 2)
\
• Start at point (0, 2),since the rise is 1. Move 1 unit up.
\
• The run is 3. Move 3 units left then plot the point (3, 3)
\
• Draw a line through these points.
