Question:
Graph the following polynomial equations for y = f(x)
6x - 2y - 12 = 0
ANSWER:
If you are doing it in a graph paper, what you have to do is,
Rewrite the given equations in terms of x as follows.
6x - 2y - 12 = 0
==> y = x -6 -----------------(2)
Now put some arbitrary values for x in the (1) and (2) and find out the corresponding y values.

For(1), when x = 0, y = 0-6 = -6

when x = 1, y = 1-6 = -5
When x = 2, y = 2-6 = -4


Now plot this values on the graph paper.

Similarly find out x and y values for the second equation and plot the graph.


Then the graphs will come like this....


+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-7%2C+7%2C+-7%2C+7%2C+x-6+%29+




Here you can see that the line touches the x and y axis at +6 and -6.
That is solution is, x = +6 and y = -6.

Hope you found the explanation useful.
