To graph a line, all you have to do is determine two points, plot them, and connect them.
Line
For , , giving us the point (0,0).
For , , giving us the point (6,6).
Line
For , , giving us the point (0,0).
For , , giving us the point (3,6).
Line
For , , giving us the point (0,6).
For , , giving us the point (6,0).
Plotting all 3 pairs of points, and connecting each pair to make the corresponding line, we get:
The vertices appear to be (0,0), (2,4), and (3,3).
We know that (0,0) is a point in the first two lines (we used that point to graph them).
We should verify that (2,4) and (3,3) are indeed at the intersection of line with the first two lines, but that is so mental-math obvious that I'm going to skip it and proclaim that the three vertices are indeed (0,0), (2,4), and (3,3).
