Algebra.Com's Answer #71331 by checkley71(8403)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! FIRST YOU PUT THE EQUATION IN THE LINE FORM [Y=mX+b] WHERE (m)=SLOPE & (b)=THE Y INTERCEPT & THEN GRAPH \n" ); document.write( "X-2Y=6 \n" ); document.write( "-2Y=-X-6 \n" ); document.write( "Y=2X+6 NOW WE HAVE THE SLOPE(m)=2 & THE Y INTERCEPT(b)=6 OR THIS IS THE POINT (0,6) \n" ); document.write( "SETTING Y=0 & SOLVING FOR X WE GET ANOTHER POINT THUS: \n" ); document.write( "0=2X+6 \n" ); document.write( "2X=-6 \n" ); document.write( "X=-6/2 \n" ); document.write( "X=-3 OR THE POINT(-3,0) \n" ); document.write( "NOW WE CAN GRAPH IT. \n" ); document.write( " |
