Given:
Line equationsystem%282x%2By=-6%29
Via Slope-Intercept Form----->y=mx%2Bb
It follows,
y=-2x-6, wheresystem%28Slope=m=-2%2CyIntercept=b=-6%29
Then, we get the x & y intercepts:
f%28y%29=0
0=-2x-6--------->2x=-6
cross%282%29x%2Fcross%282%29=cross%28-6%293%2Fcross%282%29
highlight%28x=-3%29, x -intercept
f%28x%29=0
y=-2%280%29-6
highlight%28y=-6%29
We'll see the graph:
