X+3y=18 X y 0 6 0 8 Substitute 0 for X in the equation X+3y=18 X+3y=18 0+3y=18 3y=18 Divide both sides by 3 y=6 You already have a 6 there. X y 0 6 0 8 I don't know why you have a 0 twice. That's also 6 for y, so we'll put 6 there too X y 0 6 0 6 8 The 8 is the only one left. Substitute 8 for X in X+3y=18 8+3y=18 Subtract 8 from both sides 3y=10 Divide both sides by 3 y=10/3 = 3 1/3 So you can put either 10/3 or 3 1/3 X y 0 6 0 6 8 10/3 or 3 1/3 To graph those two ordered pairs, (0,6), and (8,3 1/3). To get 3 1/3, you have to guess that's its even with the point on the y-axis that's about 1/3 of the way between 3 and 4. Notice the green line that I've drawn going over to the y-axis to show you that it's about 1/3 of the way between 3 and 4. I've also drawn a green line down to the x-axis to show you that the point (8, 3 1/3) is directly above it's x-coordinate value 8 on the x-axis, and directly beside is y-coordinate 3 1/3 on the y-axis.Now I'll erase the green lines, because they aren't part of the graph. Now we get a ruler and draw a line through those two points, and that line is the graph of the equation X+3y=18. Edwin
