Question 83953: Graph the equation
x-2y=6
All I have been able to come up with is coordinates of (6,0)
(0,-3)
are these right and can you graph this?

x-2y=6
-2y=-x+6
y=-x/-2+6/-2
y=x/2-3 the standard form of the line equation.
setting y=0 & solve for x:
0=x/2-3
x/2=3 now cross multiply
x=3*2
x=6 answer or the point (6,0)
now set x=0 7 solve for y
y=0/2-3
y=-3 answer or the point (0,-3).
now plot these 2 points & draw a line through them.
(graph 300x300 pixels, x from -10 to 10, y from -10 to 10, y = x/2 -3).
