You can put this solution on YOUR website!
When the graph intersect an axis, the coordinate of the intersection is called an intercept. If the graph intersect y axis, it is called y-intercept and the point of intersection is (0,y). If the graph intersect x axis, it is called x-intercept and the point of intersection is (x, 0). \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To graph the equation 2x + 3y = 6
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute 0 for y to find the x-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "2x + (0) = 6
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 6
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3 >>>> point is located (3,0)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
Substitute 0 for x to find the y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "2(0) + 3y = 6
\n" ); document.write( "3y = 6
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2 >>>>>this point is located (0, 2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Two points determine a line. Using that two points, you can graph the equation now.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
The graph looks like this
