What is the equation of the graphed line written in standard form? 2x + 3y = - 6 2x + 3y = 6

The equations 2x + 3y = - 6 and 2x + 3y = 6 are sample of linear equation of first degree. If a first degree equation is plotted in an x-y coordinate plane, a straight line is formed. Another way to determine the degree of the equation is re-arranging the equation to evaluate the y variable or f (x) and check the power of the x-variable. The examples can be re-arrange as y = 2/3 (x) - 2 and y = 2/3 (x) + 2. The x variables are raised in 1st power, hence, 1st degree equation.
