#### Topic: Solving and Graphing Linear Equations

---

**Problem Statement:**
Solve the equation for \( y \) and then graph it.
\[ 2x + 3y = 6 \]

---

**Steps to Solve for \( y \):**

1. **Given Equation:**
\[ 2x + 3y = 6 \]

2. **Isolate \( y \):**
\[ 3y = 6 - 2x \]

3. **Solve for \( y \):**
\[ y = \frac{6 - 2x}{3} \]
\[ y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 2 \]

---

**Graph Explanation:**

The graph is a Cartesian coordinate system with an x-axis and a y-axis. The grid is labeled with numbers from -10 to 10 on both the x and y axes. The coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants.

**Steps to Graph the Equation \( y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 2 \):**

1. **Identify the y-intercept (b):** The y-intercept in the equation \( y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 2 \) is \( 2 \). This means the line crosses the y-axis at \( (0, 2) \).
   
2. **Determine the slope (m):** The slope is \( -\frac{2}{3} \). This means for every 3 units moved to the right (positive direction on the x-axis), the line moves 2 units down (negative direction on the y-axis).

3. **Plot the y-intercept:** Start by plotting the point \( (0, 2) \) on the graph.

4. **Apply the slope:** From \( (0, 2) \), move 3 units to the right (to \( x = 3 \)) and 2 units down (to \( y = 0 \)). Plot this second point \( (3, 0) \).

5. **Draw the line:** Connect these two points with a straight line extending the line in both directions to cover the entire grid.

**Graph Navigation Tools:**

- **Arrow Tool:** Allows you to select and move objects on the graph.
- **Point Tool:** Adds points to the graph.
- **Line Tool:** Draws straight lines between two points
