Question 378812: x + y - 6 = 0
Answer by rapaljer(4671) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I would start by adding +6 to each side of the equation to place the equation in STANDARD FORM: x+y=6.
Next, it takes TWO points to graph a straight line, so the easiest points are the x and y intercepts, where x=0 and find y. Then, let y=0 and find x.
If x=0, then y=6.
If y=9, then x=6.
Graph these two points, and you get this graph:
For a complete explanation of GRAPHING a line, please see my own website. Click on my tutor name "Rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com, and then click on my website that is given there. Look for the link "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time" and select "Basic Algebra", "Chapter 4". My explanations were written for students who have trouble understanding math, and according to my own students, much easier to understand than traditional textbooks.
I also have a complete video from my classes before I retired in which I taught the lessons myself. The videos are FREE. Look for "Rapalje Videos in Living Color" on my Homepage. Choose "Basic Algebra" and look for "Graphing and the Slope of a Line." This is really a LOT easier than it looks!! You can DO this!!
