How do you find the X and Y intercepts and then graph the line
.
Given your equation...
.
1. to find the x-intercept, set 'y'=0 and solve for x
Your x-intercept will then be at ("value found", 0)
.
2. to find the y-intercept, set 'x'=0 and solve for y
Your y-intercept will then be at (0, "value found")
.
3. plot the two points found above in an x-y graph and draw a line through the two points -- that's it, you're done.
