"see explanation"

Explanation:

"one way is to find the intercepts, that is where the graph"
"crosses the x and y axes"

• " let x = 0, in the equation for y-intercept"

• " let y = 0, in the equation for x-intercept"

x=0rArr0-3y=6rArry=-2larrcolor(red)"y-intercept"

y=0rArr2x-0=6rArrx=3larrcolor(red)"x-intercept"

"plot the points "(0,-2)" and "(3,0)

"and draw a straight line through them"
graph{(y-2/3x+2)((x-0)^2+(y+2)^2-0.04)((x-3)^2+(y-0)^2-0.04)=0 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
