explain how to graph x + 3y = 3 using the x- and y-intercepts method.
.
To find the y-intercept, set x to zero and solve for y:
x + 3y = 3
0 + 3y = 3
3y = 3
y = 1
y-intercept is at (0,1)
.
To find the x-intercept, set y to zero and solve for x:
x + 3y = 3
x + 3(0) = 3
x = 3
x-intercept is at (3,0)
.
Since two points defines a line, simply plot both points on a graph and draw a line through both points -- that's it, you're done.
