Question
I was asked to graph 3x-2y=o using y=mx+b, and i am completely confused. and i have no idea how to slove or graph it, please help me out and e-mail me

Answer
Well, you can re-write it as y = (3/2)x and in this case b is 0 since the line goes through the origin.  It only takes two points to draw a straight line.  Put in a value for x, solve for y, and plot (x,y).  One point is (0,0).  Find another one and draw your line.
