x-intercept


To find the x-intercept, plug in and solve for x


Start with the given equation.


Plug in .


Multiply and 0 to get 0.


Simplify.


Add to both sides.


Combine like terms on the right side.


Divide both sides by to isolate .


Reduce.


So the x-intercept is .

y-intercept


To find the y-intercept, plug in and solve for y


Start with the given equation.


Plug in .


Multiply and 0 to get 0.


Simplify.


Divide both sides by to isolate .


Reduce.


So the y-intercept is .




Now plot the two points and




Now draw a line through the two points to graph
