do you need to find the $y$ -intercept??

If so, you have to arrange it into $y$ $=$ $m$ $x$ $+$ $c$ equation

$m$ = gradient
$c$ $=$ $y$ -intercept

bing your 2 $x$ to the right side...becomes ( $-$ 2 $x$ )
then, divide all over it with $-$ 3, so you have only $y$ at the left hand side

Thus,

$-$ 3 $y$ $=$ $-$ 2 $x$ $-$ 18
$y$ $=$ ( $-$ 2 $x$ $-$ 18) $/$ $-$ 3

$:.$ $y$ $=$ 2 $/$ 3 $x$ $+$ 6

$m$ $=$ 2 $/$ 3
$c$ $=$ 6

i hope this helps :) xx
