Write the equation in general form ax + by + c =0.

1/2 y - 1/3 x - 1 = 0

2x -3y +6 =0

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 y - 1/3 x - 1 = 0

Multiply by 6 to clear the denominators

6*(1/2 y - 1/3 x - 1) = 0*6

3y -2x-6=0

Multiply by -1 because we want x to be positive

-1(3y -2x-6)=0*-1

-3y +2x +6 = 0

Rearrange

2x -3y +6 =0

This is in the general form

a function could be identified in 3 ways either on a chart,graph, or ordered pairs. first a function is that each point has its own. the rule is that there can be many x's to one y but there can not be 2 x's at different y's. so on a graph when you put a straight line through the y's there should be one dot only to be a function.
